If you have a narrow heel but like a little toe room you should give these a try. I was using Brooks Cascadias, but these are superb. I particularly like the Michelin soles. While flexible and light, they are still strong and have an aggressive tread. I'm currently wearing them on the AT, and won't replace them with anything else when they eventually wear out. I'm a 10 in street shoes, but bought 10 1/2 for trail use with mid weight wool socks. Perfect fit.

I bought this bag before I discovered Campsaver, so I'm not a certified buyer, but I've had this bag for about 4 years now and it is the best one I've ever owned. Why? Because it is amazingly versatile and comfortable. Forget the constricted feeling of a mummy bag. If you're a "sprawling" sleeper like me you'll love the Sycamore. It still packs small and light, so you're not paying much of a penalty for the additional roominess. Let's talk versatility. With two zippers, this bag unzips completely flat. In the warmer months I often throw it over myself to use as a quilt. You may even find yourself using it as a quilt at home every now and then. I know I have. I've owned a few other bags over the years, including high-end Marmots and another Western Mountaineering bag. They've all been quite good, but the Sycamore is probably the most useful bag I've owned for most 3-season ventures.
