Well, I went from shoes to boots, and my feet are telling me, that I'll not be going back to shoes - not even if I were to walk without a pack. "Yes dears"I have heard of lots of people going from heavier footwear to lighter footwear, but only rarely the other way.

It's not a question I have seen asked here or other places. And even if one didn't change the style of footwear, new technologies are generally bringing weights down.I have heard of lots of people going from heavier footwear to lighter footwear, but only rarely the other way.
I’m astonished you carry 16kg ! Is that an infantry thing too ? I carry about six. I wear off road runners, with really good tread so no slipping.
Hoka One One are primarily a shoe manufacturer, although they do have a small selection of hiking boots. Including a brand like Hoka does get confusing because they have low (shoes), mid and high top (boots?) in their range.Looking at the votes it occurs to me that if Hokas are a type of boot then the figure for 'boots' is 36.7%; much nearer to trail runners than seems at first glance. Similarly' other hiking shoes' and 'walking shoes' combined gives 14.6%. (All as of today's date.)
I thought Gortex was simply a type of lining/fabric rather than a style but maybe I am wrong.
I have walked about 4K in Brooks Cascadia Trail Runners. I am sure you can add at least another 1K in training for 3 pairs of Cascadias. I walked the entire Norte last year in the same pair I will walk the CF starting on October 28th. This will be the first time I will not walk an entire route. I have to start in Pamplona as I have to meet my daughter in Porto on December 3rd. Every day with the kids now is a day you don't want to miss as we get older. I am 65 and need a little extra time. Also I know it may be a little dicey walking in Trail Runners getting to Galicia especially but I hate boots. The Cascadias are really light and really durable. I have them one size larger and wider and they feel great.
This really depends on where you start.
I'd go with trail runners if you start in Sarria. There's really no need for the extra weight or durability of hiking shoes from there.
Yes ......Altra Mizuno Asic New Balance etc all have very accomplished long distance running shoes with market best damping solutionsShould I add other shoe types?
For me too, fivefingers are the best.My favorit is Fivefingers. Always. Whereever I am - Whatever I do. I have fivefingers for everything also the Camino. They are light weight, easy dry, very flexible on difficult paths e.c.
My first Camino (2014) I wore Solomon boots. They were OK, but heavy and dry slowly in bad weather, and they are not flexible on difficult paths. Coming home from that pilgrimage I started walking in fivefingers, and training to get used to them I found my feet and legs getting stronger.
That's true.Five Fingers trail/trek shoes with vibram soles have 8 mm of cushion/stack height. That doesn't seem like very much.
