Default Re: Any Experienced Hikers Here?

Midwest Mountaineering is the place to go locally, (as is REI, but sometimes the folks at REI aren't up to snuff, IMO) you might also look at the superfeet formed insoles for a truly custom fit or whatever boot last (brand) seems to work for you best. Those guys know their stuff. As far as a pack, the external/internal frame debate will go on forever, and you might want to ask what might work best (for your frame and packing style) for you.
Also dependent considerations for either gear choice is the other gear you plan on bringing. How much weight? Volume? Overall density? Ultralight?
