I just returned Luwa boots to REI and purchased Brooks gortex Adrenalines for my Camino in two weeks.
I've had two days of training in them so far and like them way more than the boots.
However I have not walked the Camino yet so I have no idea what is instore for my feet.
Will update once home!
Hi, why is everyone against the speed cross? I am about to buy a pair myself. Thankswhen you put on a pair of shoes and they feel like coming home you have come across the right ones
no two feet are the same...
P - wearing solomon speedcross' again this year & against everyones advise ('cept my physiotherapists, she wants a pair of her own...)
Hi Careen, I recently bought Salomon Speedcross shoes and frankly I don't think they would last a quarter of the distance. I took mine back to the store after about five weeks with the central lugs worn down about half of their depth. I don't think I would have got more than three months out of them with just my regular exercise walking. I also purposefully walked on soft surfaces in an attempt to protect them from wear. Very comfortable shoe just poor value.Hi, why is everyone against the speed cross? I am about to buy a pair myself. Thanks
I have tried on so many boots and shoesHi, why is everyone against the speed cross? I am about to buy a pair myself. Thanks
I also have feet problems and am planning on wearing Saucony Peregrine 5 trail shoes. So far so good for me, I haven't tried them in heavy rain though. It is embarrassing how many shoes/boots have tried, but they all caused me pain.I have hard-to-fit feet and have tried many styles of hiking boots but they all hurt so I will be wearing my Saucony Peregrine 5 trail shoes. They aren't water proof, they don't have high ankle support, but they have a wide toe box and my feet love them. I've done many long hikes in them and I've never had a blister. I have a pair that I wear all day at work as well. Their downside is that they can and do let in water if it's raining hard but I will wear wool socks so my feet will be warm.
Although they dry fast, I plan carry a second pair because they are lighter than the sandals I was originally planning to bring as a second pair of shoes.
Well for what it is worth I went to a podiatrist today (so informative) I took the Salomon shoes and a pair of The North Face Hedgehog Fast pack. He really liked the Salomons (for himselfI have tried on so many boots and shoesand keep coming back to the Salomon Speedcross. I purchased some today. They feel so good on. Sole is good for 1000 km apparently which is all I need . Better than buying something else i am not quite sure will be comfortable. Totally agree that shoe choice is a personal thing. Basing decision on ridiculous amount (too much) Internet reading done a lot of through walking and long distance running in past/present.
