*this morning I was out training making sure that my feet would stay healthy out there on this expedition. I have combined a pair of SOLE custom footbeds (2mins to heat up in the oven and then molded to my foot) with a pair of Salomon XT Wings. So far so good. I know that making sure I have extremely good cushion and support will be essential to this journey.
