I am going to do my virgin hike in the Grand Canyon - I already posted about my hike plans and I thank all of you who responded - this is an excellent forum for novice and pro alike.
My question is this - for a 6 day hike - Down SK, PR for 1 nite - up NK - stay there for 3 nites with a bunch of hikes down and back while there and then down NK and up BA - what kind of footware would you recommend? My hike is in Mid May and I want to get my shoes now and break those bad boys in. Right now I have regular ole hiking "sneaks" if you will. The brand doesn't come to me off the top of my head but they were pricey and dang nice when I hiked about in Sedona. Will they be enough or will I want to get something with more ankle support? My hiking partner wants to wear hiking sandals - THAT is outa the question for me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Re: Foot Ware in the Canyon
On topic, I'm curious what shoes you ended up using and how they worked out for you?Kwai Chang wrote:I FINALLY got around to posting about my May adventures below the rim
