Sneakers - Appalachian Trail

imported
#1

Sort of following on from a previous post… I’ll be hiking in sneakers. How easy are they to get hold of along the way? Are New Balance popular in the states / do you think they’d be sold in most outfitters?

Secondly, I’ll be starting late march (26th ish), is there a larger possibility that i’ll encounter the odd snow storm? If so, had anyone done this in sneakers or do you think i should start in my trusty old boots??

Sorry, lots of questions in there, it’s just something that has been worrying me. How well advised am I to start in sneakers / boots?

New Balance currently is probably the most popular shoe in America. I think 804’s, 805’s, and 806’s have outsold Air Jordans as the best selling shoe. They should be no problem to find anywhere on the trail. If not I think REI stocks them as well and will ship anywhere on the trail for you.:smokin
