[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 217182, member: 33041"] Hi E, I'm a runner. I took 2 pairs of shoes with me this time, 'cause last time i had big troubles with boots (never again, never again boots). I took 2 pairs as a test, which one will be best for future caminos and walks. I brought 2 pairs of nike shoes (i just love nike for running) - lunarglide 5 (my normal, one of my most used running shoes that never ever gives me troubles while running) - zoom wildhorse trailrunners I discovered that i walked (not run) much better on the wildhorse trailrunners. They were lighter, more breathable and i think most important, they have a nice wide toebox, something the lunarglide 5 does not have. This wide toebox gave more comfort while walking. On runs i don't feel/notice the advantage of the wide toebox. I did this as a test, but upfront i was sure it was a slam dunk, the shoes that i wear 75% of the time while running will be the camino winners. I was wromg. Again i found out that walking and running are 2 seperate things, even when comparing running shoes with other (trail)running shoes. Personaly i think, if you are a runner, your gonna have a hard time adjusting to heavy boots, but you wont know untill you try them. I hope this helps. Alot of people looked at me funny....comments like "do you really walk the whole day in those shoes"? No matter which running shoe i was wearing. They were all boot people. They believe that boots are a must for a camino. They are sooooo wromg. The camino is not a trail that asks for (heavy) boots persé. The only thing that is a must, is that you wear shoes that fit you like a glove, that you feel good and comfortable with. There are 2 kinds op people on the camino: boot people and...."the rest".;):) Boot people (most, not all) have the tendency to believe that they are right, boots are the only way to go. "The rest" seems to have a wider view on the matter and know that you must wear what feels right for you, be it boots or any other form of shoe type. [/QUOTE]
