Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Recommended Shoes for mid June day hike to Mt Whitney

Hello

I plan to do day hike in mid June to Mt Whitney. I am used to lightweight shoes like Solomon X Ultra Mid II GTX. What shoes are recommended for mid June hike? Kindly help. Hiking shoes, backpacking shoes or mountaineering? Do they need to be waterproof and insulated?

I would like to thank everyone who keep posting valuable information. This forum has helped me and many more.

Thanks
