  This topic and backpack research have been the most time-consuming prep issue for me. Ultimately, I'm going with the Topo Mountain Racer 3's, not waterproof. After spending hours at REI (an outfitter) they fit better than the others that I...

  In April on the CF I wore trail runners and chacos sandals, usually with Injinji toe socks; wore the sandals 80% of the time and would do so again. Yes they got wet/muddy but were able to be cleaned off and dried.

  I got treated for tendonitis in Leon. The nurse told me not to wear my Scarpars but to wear trail runners (Spanish made of course). I've only had tendonitis while wearing boots. Not Goretex runners tend to dry themselves as you walk. and consider...

  I walked the Frances from st Jean Pied de Port to Santiago last year starting 11 April. Loved my Altra Lone Peak. Ordered 2 more pairs for future walking. Which this year I did the Norte with one of the new pairs. Neither trip did I have a...

  Altra Olympus or Hoka speedgoat, with waterproof socks when absolutely necessary, although it's rare for me to worry about wet feet the waterproof socks are more about warmth when the waters particularly cold. I prefer thinner running socks as a...

  For the most part this is correct, however thee are one or two short sections on the CF that will be quite difficult without decent tread if the conditions are poor. If you pay attention to your footing you will likely be fine. I wore...

  Wore full leather waterproof boots on 5 caminos and never had a problem with wet from sweat feet. When I was a kid, my mum always insisted on real leather shoes for us as synthetic made the feet sweat. Anything shorter than boots in early April...

  It is certainly a personal choice. I have walked the Camino from SJPP to Santiago in April over two years. Both times I was wearing Hoka shoes with non wool socks. No blisters. I got soaked a few times but the advantage of the Hoka was they...

  I wear Merrell MOABs, waterproof and high ankle ones for ankle support. For socks I wear Mountain Design's Merino wool. In April/May 2022 it's not the rain I remember, but the mud that the rain caused. So much mud! Shoes wet and dirty from rain...

  I walked that time of year twice over the Napolean route. I wore full leather hiking boots (Scarpa) and believe me I needed them. There will still be drifts of snow and mud where the snow has melted. I watched as others in shoes and trail runners...
