Wore through a pair of Columbia 'North Plains' (selected because they had a wide toebox) in a couple of long AT trips, starting with that outside toe. Try this: when the shoes are new, before they wear much, thin down some clear silicon sealant with mineral spirits and "paint" on a couple of layers of "patch" over the 5th MT. Almost like having a "printed overlay" reinforcement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
