    Trail shoes for a New Balance 880 lover?

    Dilbin, sadly, I haven't been able to experience these on the Camino yet, because COVID got in the way. I'm currently hoping to be able to go late summer/early fall of 2023. However, I continue to use and enjoy the Moab FST!

    Silk Liner Feedback?

    this is brilliant. I think I saw you mention this in another thread, but I appreciate the increased detail and pictures here. I’m thinking about doing the same thing! My Lone Wolf silk liner arrived from Vietnam today, and it is excellent! Great width, well put together, and solidly stitched...

    I’m thinking about buying a Peshtemal Turkish towel to serve as towel and blanket. See it here:Cacala Pestemal Turkish Bath Towels 37x70%100 CottonTM Ocean Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EM644DC/?tag=casaivar02-20 Or the Costco 700 fill Blue Ridge down throw...

    Silk Liner Feedback?

    what I liked about the lone wolf model is that it’s real silk (not art silk) wider than a regular, but not as wide (or heavy) as the double. seems to fill a unique niche.

    Silk Liner Feedback?

    I just ordered this Lone Wolf edition Endura Silk Liner from TrekSilk. Based on reviews and other threads on this forum the brand seems like a safe choice, and I really like that is is extra wide, plus has a spot for pillow and side openings on both sides. 190 grams,and it’s a great price! (Best...

    Sleeping bag liner

    I think the opening is only partway down, but my hope is that it’s wide enough that one could open it further without feeling the need to zip it shut because there’s enough fabric. Good luck as you figure things out!

    Trail shoes for a New Balance 880 lover?

    Thanks, Jerry! I tried the Speedcross, but they were not the ones for me. I've ordered the Merrell Moab FST in a couple of size from REI. I have enough time to give them a good shot here as I train, and then I'll go from there. If they don't end up working, it's good to know that I have a good...

    Trail shoes for a New Balance 880 lover?

    Thank you, Dave! I appreciate the reassurance and encouragement. I'm not typically the most graceful or athletic person :-), so I'm really trying hard to set myself up for success. It's good to hear your perspective that a shoe which already serves me well will be just fine.

    Hi! MN girl here, preparing for my first Camino in September. I'd love more information about the knowledgeable person at Midwestern Mountaineering! Do you remember a name?

    Trail shoes for a New Balance 880 lover?

    Thanks, Dave! I guess my worry is that they are fine on a treadmill but won't have a strong enough sole to support me out on uneven surfaces. There's no rock plate, etc. I have a history of plantar fascitis and don't want to mess myself up. :)

    Trail shoes for a New Balance 880 lover?

    Hi, there! I'm planning to walk the Camino Portugues from Porto to Santiago in early September 2020, probably part of the way on the Coastal route, and then switching to Central. I know how important the right shoe can be on this journey, and I find myself overwhelmed by the choices. I've...
