Hi guys
Last night I won a voucher to purchase a pair of Brooks runners / trail shoes. My first thought was "What brand are these?" and after doing a good search online, these seem to be well recommended.
On my numerous Caminos, I have always chosen Colombia, North Face, Soloman shoes, however I'm tempted to use this voucher for my upcoming Camino in September.
Are there any Brooks trail shoes that you would recommend?
Just to note I will be using an x-line insole as I have a high instep :)
Cheers!

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
I have a pair of Brooks Beast regular running shoes. They are very sturdy and well made and I put a lot of miles in them, so I can definitely recommend the brand. Never had the trail runners, though and they do have a website. The men's Cascadia looks good to me.
 
I ordered the Altra Olympus 2.0 and Hoka mafate 4.0 to try, memorial day sale. Currently leaning towards the Altra as it has Vibram outsole and a gusset compare to mafate. Both are trail runners. If you can get the brooks for free why not go with that, Are you walking in dry conditions?
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Brooks. Casscadia if you have a neutral gait. Brooks Adrennaline Trail if you need more arch support. It comes in GTX.....so waterproof. I fit shoes for a living.
