I used the new Patagonia boots today on the PT. Given low flows it was not a big challenge but the fit and function were excellent. As reported, grip on streambed and rocks, even yucky ones, was excellent. The grip on mossy logs was not however - I'll have to remember to step over, not onto, wet wood. I had to do a ton of walking today in search of open water and while the boots are a bit heavy they are not uncomfortable, despite the metal on the soles. All in, very favorable; good news.
