I'm going on a hiking trip this coming week. Any shoe recommendations?
Camping out in Maine for a few days.

My boyfriend and I do a lot of hiking together. I like to wear a pair of sturdy oxfords with socks,馃憺馃憺 but my boyfriend's soles are toghened for going barefoot,馃懀 so he never wears any shoes at all.馃懀馃槈 Bare feet work really well for him, on any type of terrain, and I've always admired his going barefoot,馃懀馃グ -- but going barefoot would never be right for me.馃槯 My soles are baby soft, and really need the protection of shoes and socks.馃憺馃憺馃槈
I felt realy sorry for one woman who showed up for a hike wearing flip flops.馃┐馃┐ They broke half way through, and she ended up having to walk back barefoot on a gravel road with feet that were obviously much more like mine than my boyfriend's.馃懀馃槯Ouch,馃懀馃槯Ouch,馃懀馃槯ouch!馃懀馃槯

Hiking boots. Not the full length kind.

@DeWayfarer That's understandable. I prefer to have cushion in my shoes. Unfortunately, it's hard to come by those these days. I used to work at a sporting goods store, and there were these pair of shoes with memory foam. Those were very comfortable. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get my hands on another pair ever since the store went out of business. I even tried looking up the style online. No luck!
Also, is it just me, or is it hard to find a good pair of shoes that fit these days? It seems I am in-between whole and half sizes. Every shoe I've tried on so far is either a little too small or a little too big.....

@BlackBloodDemon try getting one that comes close. Then get a good pair of insoles. The insoles should make up the difference.

@DeWayfarer That's a good idea. I haven't thought about that. Thank you!
