I used a pair of New balance Zeros this summer hiking the JMT.=20

They were great and not just because they were 4oz each. They breath so nic=
e. They feel like air on your feet but are still capable of being your "wal=
k down hill to get water shoes"=20

They were to me.... well worth the weight. Not one blister the entire hike =
and I credit some of that to being able to slip in these them after a long =
day.=20
