My feet are resilient!

Start time: 12:00pm

Starting elevation: 930 feet
Shoes: Brand new Vasque Hiking Boot
Socks: Inner layer: silk liner socks, Outer layer: Smartwool medium cushion

Day after condition: Well, I'm wearing three-inch heels today without any discomfort, my blister is nothing but a little pink spot on the back of my heel, and I haven't felt any muscle soreness despite the fact that I'm terribly out of shape and haven't hiked that far I think ever.

Nice. And I wasn't even wearing Himalayan Walking shoes.
