Light weight shoes

[frank john]

Hi all. Could anyone recommend a good light weight walking shoe for men? I can’t wear crocs or sandals and need some shoes to walk around in after hiking. Water proof might be helpful since I’m walking throughout November. Thanks for any guidance.

My husband likes these. Kind of a cross between a slipper and a shoe.

North Face also makes a similar shoe (Thermoball mule V).

To be clear-- are you talking about a light shoe to walk around town ONLY? Or do you want something you might be able to occasionally swap out for your main walker out on the trail AND in the evenings.

I’ve packed crocs on my last Caminos for end of day foot relief. This time I have a few things planned (cooking one evening in San Sebastián with a gastronomy society, Guggenheim visit in Bilbao) … so I ditched the crocs for a pair of Allbird loungers. Very lightweight, closed toe slip-ons, very breathable, super comfy and easy wash ability. I believe Sketchers also has similar options …

Great question. I’m walking with an ankle high Merrill. Would like a pair of comfortable shoes to relax in after the long walk. Not hiking. And November is a rainy season.

Those look great. Never heard of them before your post.

Xero Z-Trail Sandals (there are other models too) are super comfortable (clearly not waterproof though ), and you can even use them for walking too

Hi,
If you only need them for the evening (no trail hiking) google “recovery shoes” and you’ll find some. Hoka and Oofos both make a slide and Hoka used to have a shoe as well. Others are making recovery shoes as well.

I walked in Hoka Stinson’s and then brought a pair of OnCloud/OnRunning lightweight shoes to use in the evenings.

Buen Camino,

Thank you for these suggestions. Never thought of the Hokas. Take care. Frank
