 As for pants, I recommend compression pants.

As for shoes, break them in NOW. I love my Salomons; but find what is best for you. You are going to thrash them, so get your use out of them now!

Lastly, dont bother with a camel pack and a bunch of other crap you have to carry. You will wish you hadn’t. They have water and food available, so focus on getting hydrated over the next 16 weeks so that you dont get injured. Remember to eat foods high in water, limit alcohol and caffeine, and if you have sustained injuries get with me to talk TRIGGER POINT.
