Bob, based on prior posts, I suspect Hobbes has done more backpacking than many of us. He's an ultralight packer, makes his own equipment, and hikes off-trail pretty often. In my mind, he's "an animal" in the hiking world.
We all can see that everyone has their own opinion about what are the best boots or flip-flops to hike in. You mention "Little Foot". A while back, there was also "Barefoot Ted", who hiked the Main Trail barefoot. It takes all kinds.
I am pretty sure the OP is enjoying reading the wide spectrum of opinions.
