[QUOTE="Anakasha, post: 104750, member: 14465"] Although I have not yet done my Camino I have been training in my Lowa Renegades ([url=http://www.rei.com/product/796065/lowa-renegade-gtx-mid-hiking-boots-womens]http://www.rei.com/product/796065/lowa- ... ots-womens[/url]) and love love love them. I bought the red ones in order to more easily find them in the morning pre-coffee. Two weeks ago I did a 7 mile hike in Alaska to, on, and back from Spencer Glacier, and even with crampons on the only thing that didn't hurt were my feet. I thought for sure they might give me problems walking on the rugged moraine (which if you are unfamiliar is like walking uphill in beach sand), as you sink into, but they managed to float more than some of the other hikers shoes did and I weighed more and had more in my pack than they did. They also managed to keep my feet nice and warm while walking on the glacier itself. I will admit that while breaking them in, they did have a tendency to get rather warm at the beginning of the walk and I would have to stop, cool off my feet and then continue on. This would generally only happen once per walk. I ended up replacing the insoles and they stopped heating up. I think the insoles that came with them were a bit to flat for me and the friction was causing the heat build up. I'm planning on taking them and a pair of lightweight Vibrams with me, as I really like walking in the Vibrams. I know though that they are unrealistic to walk too long in while carrying a pack.
