Because the hiking trails are uneven. Making for unstable footing, caused by rocks underfoot, tree roots sometimes growing across and along the trails and in some cases trails that slant sideways instead of being level from side to side. All of these tripping hazards, require secure foot and ankle support.
Why risk a sprained ankle or worse? When wearing hiking boots or other proper footwear will greatly lessen the risk.

(Please don't be a no-show.) It's nice to give out name tags which I will do. I fill out the name tags just before I leave for the tour. This also gives me a way to take attendance. Name tags that are not picked up, are recorded as no-shows. If you get too many no-shows recorded in your personal Meet-up profile you'll have to be cancelled from this Meetup.
(To cancel your RSVP look for the, "Edit Attendance" tab at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.)

Opportunity for lunch stop afterward at one of many nice Berkeley/Albany restaurants.
