I'll be thru-hiking the AT 3/5/09. Will this hold up for the spring/fall portions?

Well, I hiked it and my pack was 30 lbs. They were great, offered awesome support, but my foot spread out from all the miles so I had to get another boot. These were perfect though for the AT and I give them my blessing. But... At the end of it all I was in trail runners and wish I had been the entire time. Go trail runners!

I'd say it really depends on how much you're planning on carrying. With 40 or more pounds on your back, I'd want something a little more substantial on my feet. These are really good for day hikes with just a rucksack on your back. A pair of the Glaciers (La Sportiva) would be better suited to heavy backpacking on the AT.
