    Anyone use Hoka One One shoes?

    Yes Camino Chrissy I used Hoka Speedgoat with vibram soles. Might have been the best decision I made pre Frances. Started in SJPDP made it to Finisterre, 600miles +/- 34 days. Left them in the trash on the coast after a grateful sigh. I’d recommend them highly as well as the darn tough socks I...

    30 days - from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago - is it possible without stress?

    Hello viadasbarto, in 2019, my brother, 66 and I, 64 did the Frances from SJPDP to Santiago in 30 days without stress. Not experienced hikers, slow and steady as they say and we never felt rushed or behind. We had allowed 5 weeks so with the extra days and euphoria we felt from arriving in...

    Anyone use Hoka One One shoes?

    Yes, I used HOKA Speedgoat 2 for my Camino Frances April 2019. Cushion, support and the vibrum sole was perfect for the wet days. Dry by morning and much lighter than the boots I had considered. I bought 1/2 size larger than normal to allow for any swelling that occurred, (none). I averaged 19...

    Time for Some Trail Runners

    I had a great Camino, April 2019, in Hoka Speedgoats. Not only was the walk blister free but I never even felt a hot spot. I wore Darn tough merino socks with them.

    Anyone use Hoka One One shoes?

    I used HOKA One One Speedgoat 2 in April. St. Jean to Santiago to Finistere and Muxia. 596 miles in 32 days no blisters or any problem. Two days of snow, Roncesvalles and O'Cebreiro and I still wear them to walk at home. Glad to have them and I'd recommend you get them a size larger than...
