[QUOTE="Colette Z, post: 679815, member: 64924"] Hi JK, I too think about the VDLP starting early March 2019. In March 2018 for my Camino del Norte, I wore Salomon Speedcross 4 Gortex trail runners - great regarding traction, lightness, not slippery, but as it rained almost daily (many days it poured all day) the goretex was not of any use. I felt like walking in a soaking wet sponge. However, I just finished walking the much shorter but equally very wet Camino Ingles (lots of climbing) for which I wore a HOKA ONE AREH (not goretex). It has a very light mesh top, I wore double smartwool socks and despite the shoes getting wet my feet never felt wet and my outer sock was only damp, the inner sock was dry. The traction was superior on wet stones than the more aggressive Speedcross 4 tread. For me I’ll wear HOKA ONE on the VDLP plus carry lightweight sandals to switch to when weather is dry. This is only my very personal experience. I carry my pack (30 L MILLET women’s VENOM 680 gm pack) but never carry more than a total of 5 kg of gear. ULTREIA ! [/QUOTE]
