I found the Way to be very aggressive. I had a trail runner and they broke down half way through. On my second Way I wore a ankle hiking boot, and although they were heavy, they met the need.
I would recommend that if you are carrying a pack to wear the hikers. I wore salomon trail runners on the French way and they broke down on Day 4. I have since done the Portugal route from Lisbon and wore hikers, although a bit heavier very durable, with great ankle support for the heavier pack.
