Hi Duey, I have been training with the Hoka and Injinji sock - It's great! I am not as tired as when I used the other brand including the Brooks.Hi guys! I am 17 and am booked to begin walking el camino July 1st! I am between two shoes at the moment an cannot decide which to use. One is a Salomon Mountain Trail shoe that is very stiff and breathable for the hot summer. The other is the Hoka One One Stinson ATR which is an extremely cushioned shoe with a large surface area meant for walking long distances in comfort… Thoughts?
Everyone in my group starting June 25 in SJPP will be wearing Hoka ATRs with Keen sandals for backup. Can't imagine doing it with anything else.Hi guys!

Did you have any problems with wear on the Hokas?I wore HOKAs for my second Camino (I did the "full" (whatever that is...) Norte and the Inglais in them. I wore the Stinsons.
I had not one foot blemish. I walked all kinds of weather , rain, hot sun etc... and walked long days (one in excess of 50km). I loved my Hokas. While my first Camino (in Brooks) was a good one there was a huge difference in my feet between the two Caminos.
I am two days away from Santiago. The ATR have performed very well, but the knobs of the sole have worn down to nothing in some areas. If you are going during wet weather, you may end up needing to replace them with Salmons in Leon.Did you have any problems with wear on the Hokas?
Why do think they will wear more in wet weather.I

I'm guessing that the point is that when they are worn down, they would have less traction or grip on wet surfaces so you might want new ones then.Why do think they will wear more in wet weather.
Correct.I'm guessing that the point is that when they are worn down, they would have less traction or grip on wet surfaces so you might want new ones then.
I ditched my Keen boots for a pair of Hoka low cut boots and can't believe the difference in comfort. I believe Hoka boots just were introduced a few months ago so I haven't been able to find anyone who has worn them, but for my training they have been awesome. They are my shoe of choice for my Camino.....starting from SJPdP on Sept. 5.
