Comfortable, good fitting trail runners for the PCT
I transitioned from the Olympus 5.0s to the GTXs for a backpacking trip through the Sierra Nevada mountains on the Pacific Crest Trail last month. The shoes held up extremely well. The 33 mms of cushioning protected my feet from the often rocky terrain. The sole gripped the decomposed granite trail very well. I liked the wide toe box (big reason why I’ve backpacked in Lone Peaks and Olympus Altras). The GTXs seemed to dry out fairly quickly after fording streams when I couldn’t rock hop across. Until I find something better, the GTXs will be my go-to trail runners for backpacking. For the price (under $120), I bought two additional pairs for future backpacking seasons.
