Those thin soled shoes are hell for hiking, I did 1700 miles in a pair on the PCT, by 25-30 miles in a day my feed were screaming in pain. Had insanely thick callouses on my feet(it split on my heel and I could see at least 1/2 inch of nothing but skin).

Switched to sandals with much thicker sole at the 1700 mile mark, and after that I could do 45 miles per day with no pain.
