I’m trying to find a new pair of shoes before I leave for Finisterre
I’ve been to most of the places in the old town and haven’t been able to find much
I’m looking for brooks cascadias or Merrill Moabs.
thanks for your help

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I remember going to the Decathalon store in Santiago a few years ago. I do not remember their shoe inventory, but they should have something to help you. This is the address and telephone from their facebook page. Also the tourist office in Santiago can help you with information like that. If they are open, that is.

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

Atmósfera Sport Santiago (Centro Deportivo)

Address: Rúa de San Pedro de Mezonzo, 28, 15701 Santiago de Compostela

They have Brooks, New Balance, and Nike, among other brands.
 
My cousin was delighted with the shoes she brought in Decathlon. Found them way more comfortable than the "brand" hiking shoes she had been wearing.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I’ve been looking around the El Corte Ingles- great sports section- lovely store- you might get what you need.
Best of luck 🤞
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
