Shoes (again)

I will be doing the Camino Frances in May/June 2025. I’m trying to decide between Hoka Challengers and Merrill Accentors. The Challengers don’t seem to have a very robust sole as the middle part is just soft foam. The Accentors don’t have a lot of cushioning. Durability and traction issues? I also have Merrill Moab’s but they are so heavy.

Welcome to the forum. Click on the tag that I've added under the thread title, to browse through some recent threads about shoe choice.

The short answer is that no shoe will be perfect for all conditions, or for all people. The best you can do is find the most comfortable shoe for daily long walks on any surface. Get the most comfortable of your current candidates and wear them for a few months. Count the km and see how they last. If they are good, get a new pair before your Camino. If they are not good, you'll have to try another pair!

Hi there! A few months ago, whilst doing first aid training our instructor mentioned that there were personal, one-use AED defibrillators on the market suitable for carrying in a back-pack. I...
