She was already spending a lot of her time lying on her couch napping but since January she has slept more and more. We found out in the first week of Feb. that her cancer had returned. She opted to try more chemo even though she was already very weak.
_______ 2-3 pairs of medium weight wool hiking socks: Wool keeps your feet warm even when wet and gives good cushioning. The higher the wool content of the socks the better (we recommend 85% wool, 15% nylon).
Be sure to choose footwear that matches your snowshoeing style, whether itâs casual walking, backcountry trekking, climbing summits or trail-running. Leather hiking boots work well, especially if they are waterproofed. Insulated boots will work but they usually donât offer the support for long periods. Some people use plastic mountaineering boots, which are fine, but they arenât necessary for all but the adventurous snowshoeing. Trail-running snowshoes are designed to be worn with trail-running shoes or cross-trainers. Wool or synthetic socks with wicking liners help keep you feet warm and dry. Gaiters keep snow out of your boots and keep your feet dry.
