    Time for Some Trail Runners

    Brooks Cascadia 13 and merino wool socks kept all blisters at bay and the sole plates kept my foot bed unbruised. Can't recommend this combo enough. >1000km including pre-camino walks.

    Been using Brooks Cascadia over the last month and will test them from SJPDD to Santiago on Sept 9th. Seem very well built and super breathable. Light weight and a rock plate were my targets in trail shoes. Also taking low cut Lowa for late October wet days.
