  1. Orujo

    HOKA warning

    Yes way better support than Speedgoats. Foot doesn’t slide to the front of the shoe on the downhills like they did in the Hokas. The sole is firmer, more like a Salomon sole. Very grippy.

    HOKA warning

    The ones in your link are the latest model (different pattern but same shoe). Mine are the previous model 👍

    HOKA warning

    My Mutants are non-Goretex. I took a wide in Speedgoats, the Mutants are wide fitting in my opinion. They look a bit wacky but I guess but nowhere near as wacky as the SGs!

    HOKA warning

    I also had issues with Speedgoats - horrendous blisters, and zero support on descents. Now use La Sportiva Mutants - super grippy, they support and hug the foot and there’s loads of room in the toe box. They also have a built in gaiter on the tongue so small stones stay out the shoe.

    I wore Speedgoats this year. They are initially super comfortable and springy, however after long distances I developed blisters between big toes and on the ends of little toes on both feet. Also the soles of my feet felt pinched and sore. I was miserable between Leon and Santiago. Spent a long...

    Using the Altus with off and on rain

    Altus wearers - do you also take a pack rain cover, or does the Altus suffice?

    Fitness Wearables

    I will also be taking my Garmin golf watch on my Camino in Sept/Oct. I love it - bought it for golf but now wear it every day as it is so useful and looks good. I’d be interested to see how yours works with GPS turned on and showing the route on a map. Have a great time.
