- Walking the Camino del Norte this autumn
I've been on the shoe hunt and with so many different options and opinions out there it's very hard to make a decision. I understand it's very much down to personal preference when it comes to a matter like footwear but I am seeking some advice specifically from people who've walked the coastal route: do you think it's viable to hike the Norte in a pair of Keen closed toed sandals? I'm looking at the Rialtos currently. They just look to be a really solid shoe and it's appealing to me that they'd be very quick drying and I could go sockless when needed. I also imagine this might eliminate the need to bring a second pair of sandals for the albergues.
At the same time, I do wonder if I'd be playing it safer buying a decent non waterproof trail runner that covers the entire foot.
Any thoughts?
