The party is June 29, 2013. It's a wedding really. They are going to have a mass to renew vows and then a reception.

My MIL is pretty cool, I can get whatever dress I want. I hated my wedding dress. It was cheap and I could afford it, so for this I want something I really like. I was avoiding sandals because I think I have ugly toes - genetic hammer toes. But we are getting manicures and pedicures the Thursday before...

I've got lots of time to find something really nice. And I want to be as comfortable as I can be since it's a long day!

LW I started wearing my Merrill shoes last summer, hiked all over Glacier NP in them. In Sept. I started running in Kinvaras, a minimal shoe. I think all the walking before the running switch, made switching easier. I didn't have any of the tight calves or Achilles issues that I had read could be a problem.

Good luck with your experiment!
