Hmmm.... ok. I see our Hiker has a message to help me understand... cool.

Sounds like me after an extremely steep descent. Toes get blistered and bashed.
Last year I hiked 326 miles with 63,200 feet of elevation gain (and loss). My women's hiking group has boiled down to three strong hikers: Karen, Gro and me. In the winter, we keep going on snowshoes and micro-spikes.
For more toe room, Karen and Gro wear bigger hiking boots. This week, I increased my hiking boot size from 7 to 7-1/2 narrow. It helps.

Karen and Gro hike every day. I only hike once or twice a week.
Karen, 70, is teaching me expert rock climbing and snowshoeing skills. She was a snowboard instructor.
I love my MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes. "Use the grip end on your trekking poles to flip up the Ergo Televators to ease the strain on your calves for uphill battles, then push 'em back down when you reach flat lands."
