Love Love Love my Salomon trail runners. I've been through 3 pairs now. Mine made it the entire 800k plus some. Used on 2 or 3 caminos. I haven't had this particular model, however. All in all, I think you won't go wrong with Salomon trail runners.
I found this image linked to a website called www.nomadsnoworries.com. That doesn't seem to be a live website anymore, but maybe someone here knows who they are.
I've used the Marmot Kompressor Plus 20 pack on 3 Caminos and 2 other long distance hikes and loved it!! 20 liter capacity and weighs 13 ounces. My total pack weight was about 8-9 pounds (without water). Oh, and it's only about $45. I'd highly recommend this pack for ultralight weight walkers.
