Yeah, and don't forget to wear underwear that doesn't chap your ass, pants that fit, and a comfortable shirt.
You can thank me later.
On this thread, we don't say "ass". How very... base of you. We say "glutes".
Anyways.... difference being, of course, badly fitting shirt/pants/skivvies won't ruin your feet for 6 months in just one walk.
I was actually wearing high quality shoes (Keen). They were just inappropriate or a long walk. I think 40-yo Jeff could've walked around the world in 'em but 50-yo Jeff got 2.5 miles in and asploded.
