Hi YogiAnnie2016. I will start my first Camino april-may in 2016. I bought Hanwag hiking boots. After a few months walking in this boots; most comfortable for my feet.I am still trying to find the right shoe....sigh. Has anyone successfully worn
Ahnu Sugarpine Waterproof Hiking Shoes? What were the drawbacks if any? I know everyone's feet are different, I am wondering if this particular shoe is up for the 800km. REI has been disappointing in getting me into the right shoe, but I love their return policy and the discount I currently have.
Hi J F Gregory, my Camino will start april-may.I like REI's try it out policy. Solomon, then Merrills and finally settled on Keens. I wear Merrills for regular wear but their hiking boot doesn't work for me. My break-in hike for the Keens was the Skyline trail on Mt Rainier, rain, mud and slate pathways for an 8 hour, 10.2 mile trail rated difficult. My feet stayed dry and no blisters. We are going to walk our pilgrimage in mid-March.
Buen Camino

Well, I've planned on a slow pace myself, so we can take turns passing and lagging behind.Hi Seabird, when you see an old man with a snail's pace, that will be me.
Wish you a good prep & a Buen Camino.
So yes, we can work it out!Well, I've planned on a slow pace myself, so we can take turns passing and lagging behind.
Thanks for the input from all. I am still in a quandary about low hikers vs boots. Waterproof vs non-water proof for walking May-June. Any ideas are welcome.I am still trying to find the right shoe....sigh. Has anyone successfully worn

Nice SeabirdAloha @Angela Leslee! I lived in Hawaii for 19 years. Welcome to the forum and Buen Camino to you!

Now, if I could only decide on the boots.....Nice Seabird...... so you know my real dilemma then.... how can I do this in slippahs I will definitely be sneaking a pair in my backpack for wearing in the evening

Ahhh, another Hawaii ex-native I seeI brought my Locals (dakine with the massaging bumps) for shower and evening use.
Niiice! I think once you live here, Hawaii must always be under your skin.... probably very close to the surface....Oh yes, I have my slippahs ready, too! Along with some super light-weight slip-ons to wear into town. Now, if I could only decide on the boots.....
By the way, my forum name is from the Olomana song "Like a Seabird."
