Re: PCT shoes help I also really like the La Sportiva Wildcat. I can think of only one downside to them, which is that Kahtoola Microspikes won't stay put on them very well because the toe isn't pointy enoug... |

Re: Running Shorts Right now, I wear Asics 2 in 1 running shorts. The inner liner is sort of a boxer brief style and is very thin and fairly snug fitting. Before I found these shorts, I had chafing issues on my upp... |
