Walked 14 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail in cheap sneakers and lost both big toenails to blisters
Had to hobble the last 4 miles into Snoqualmie Pass and pay $40 for blister pads that did nothing because I thought proper boots were overrated, has anyone else learned this lesson the hard way?

My buddy Tom thought he could hike the Wonderland Trail in a pair of beat-up Vans and lost every single toenail over four days. He was peeling them off like stickers by the end and his feet looked like ground beef. Now he owns three different pairs of boots and acts like a shoe snob every time someone mentions hiking.

Did Tom ever stop to think maybe proper gear matters?
