35-40, are they daily km? This match my preferences as wellPlanning to walk the France, 35 - 40, would love to walk in running shoes. Have tried trail runners and I don’t enjoy the treading.
Can anyone recommend a running shoe with a tread that lasted the entire 800 kil?
Hi, walked previously with lightweight gortex lined walking boots for wet days and Merrells for the dryer days. Feet ached and had a few manageable blisters.Planning to walk the France, 35 - 40, would love to walk in running shoes. Have tried trail runners and I don’t enjoy the treading.

A post by @davebugg addresses this issue.My concern, after 3 Camino Frances, is that the weakness of most running shoes is when you walk on the rocky gravel paths. The protection from "pointy" rocks is missing on most running or trail running shoes. A sturdy insole is, to me, the most important part of the system. A bruised sole or forefoot makes for a very long Camino.
I’ve used Adidas supernova running shoes for my recent caminos having switched from Merrell boots. The same pair of Adidas covered the Primitivo and the Portuguese from Porto plus daily use at home. I replaced the insoles with sorbothane insoles and took a second pair with me. I alternated daily between the insoles. Next to no blisters and comfortable throughout but running shoes are a very personal choice. I suggest that if you’re happy with a particular pair, use them with extra insoles and you’re unlikely to go far wrong. If you’re really worried about distance, take two pair of the same trainers and alternate daily.Planning to walk the France, 35 - 40, would love to walk in running shoes.

Hi, walked previously with lightweight gortex lined walking boots for wet days and Merrells for the dryer days. Feet ached and had a few manageable blisters.
So, next Camino (From Porto starting Friday) I'm changing to Hoka Arahi 4's (Very little tread but nice wide sticky sole), a pair of great padded running shoes I've had for a few months. Still taking the boots for wetter rough terrain days but hopping Hokas will be kinder to my feet.
Will let you know how it goes.
I walk with Hooka, they last for me. I especially need the cushioning.Planning to walk the France, 35 - 40, would love to walk in running shoes. Have tried trail runners and I don’t enjoy the treading.

I love Hoka's. I walked the Le Puy route in them and they did great on smooth slippery rocks. I also love the feeling they have of walking on marshmellows, or as others have said...walking on pillows.I walk with Hooka, they last for me. I especially need the cushioning.
Solomon typically doesn't incorporate a rock plate into their trail runners, but it is easy to make one. A few posts upthread is where Rick posted a link for DIY rock plates.Just started CP on Monday. Have been using Saloman trail runners, but am having real trouble with the cobblestones. I am going to try my heavier Saloman boots tomorrow since with the trail runners I feel every rock.
I have saved a few possible rock plate options to cut up and use underneath my insoles if the need should ever arise... genius idea and basically free.Solomon typically doesn't incorporate a rock plate into their trail runners, but it is easy to make one.

I have no inkling to think of doing that, Dave...perish the thought!Of course, if you are like me and willing to take a knife of scissors to modify a niggling spot on the upper of a shoe,
You can look for trail runners that have rock plates midsole which gives protection without being overly stiff. There are several brands out there that have models with that design.My concern, after 3 Camino Frances, is that the weakness of most running shoes is when you walk on the rocky gravel paths.

In this post @davebugg tells how to make a rock plate out of a plastic milk jug. If you don't have a plastic milk jug you can use a thin flexible cutting board. I have purchased them 2 for $1 at a Dollar Store.You can look for trail runners that have rock plates midsole which gives protection without being overly stiff.

Very early on it began to be assumed that these numbers were referring to distance walked each day but I assume that they are the expected number of days to complete the Camino.
I was thinking the same thing.Very early on it began to be assumed that these numbers were referring to distance walked each day but I assume that they are the expected number of days to complete the Camino.
Interestingly, the OP has not returned to comment.
I used Swiss running shoe qc. Super great tread light and comfortable. I walked most of Norte in them. I recommend. Buen camino35-40, are they daily km? This match my preferences as well
The tread is only a part of the issue here. Running shoe cushioning is designed to carry certain weight for the certain time/distance. I have done some 600 km in Asics Pulse. Thread (their propertary abrasive resin) was still ok, but the sole itself collapsed and turned into the "pancake" shape. Clearly overweight - my own + about 10kg backpack. There is a lot more rigid trail runners/mixed terrain shoes to choose from, so you may find a right one I guess.
Edit. and yes, Reebok Rigderider Leather lasted all CF+ Finistere/Muxia both tread and sole ... the mesh was heavily worn though
Agreed 100%I recommend that you walk the Camino in the same shoes that you have used for training. You should have a couple hundred kilometers of break-in from training in the shoes before the Camino.
Walking the Camino in new shoes without training is just begging for problems.

Hoka One One. They are expensive. I didn't wear them, but walked with someone who did, and since returning home I've gone through a couple of pairs.

I completely disagree. Modern running and trail running shoes don't need a break in period.I recommend that you walk the Camino in the same shoes that you have used for training. You should have a couple hundred kilometers of break-in from training in the shoes before the Camino.

I agree with both, with some clarification. As @trecile does, I am on my 5th pair of the same model shoe, so I only need to test a new pair on a few walks before going on a Camino. However, if I were to change shoes, I would be very nervous about taking them on the Camino without a couple hundred kilometers including some consecutive 20-km days. I would not call it "break in" because I don't expect the shoes to change; rather I want to see how my feet react to them. Some fitting issues don't become obvious without those consecutive long days.Modern running and trail running shoes don't need a break in period.
I wore a brand new the same model of trail runners that I had trained in. I wore them for a couple of 5 mile walks before hand just to make sure that they didn't have some defect in them that would make them uncomfortable.
Agreed. Hoka Speedgoats. Best trail runner I have tried yet. I’ve also had good luck with Brooks Cascades.Hoka One One. They are expensive. I didn't wear them, but walked with someone who did, and since returning home I've gone through a couple of pairs. My friend made me a convert.

Just to be clear, the One One is a running shoe, not a trail shoe. Hoka does make trail runners, but I have no experience with those.Hoka One One. They are expensive.

Hi. My go to are Merrell fst moab gortex but I use insoles that were designed for my feet instore(50 euros). Completed 600 of the Camino del Norte in these and not a blister to be had, nor any leg pains etc. Other trail runners and hiking shoes from same manufacturer and my feet were destroyed albeit that time my first 75km were entirely asphalt. If you Google exact as I have written and make sure they have Fst in the branding then they are worth a look. DanielPlanning to walk the France, 35 - 40, would love to walk in running shoes.

The Hoka Speedgoats are excellent trail runners and definitely suitable for Camio use. My SO has walked the Frances once with them and her comment was, “it’s like walking on marshmallows even when it’s rough cobble”. I have a pair that I use when hiking on cobble and I would have the same comment. I alternate between the Hokas and my ASICS, that fit MY feet perfectly. But, in over 20 years of long distance running and hiking I find that the Hokas have the softest feel of anything. They have excellent traction with a softer compound but also a corresponding quicker wear rate. With virtually all shoes I recommend getting good insoles. I use the thick SOLE insoles that you mold to your foot by heating them and imprinting them with your foot. Miles ahead of the flimsy stock insoles.Just to be clear, the One One is a running shoe, not a trail shoe. Hoka does make trail runners, but I have no experience with those.

What was the model of Hoka you were wearing?I wore Hoka One Ones in 2018 on the Le Puy...I loved them; like walking on marshmellows(see pic.) They have newer models out now.

Bondi 7 is my latest pair. I run in Hokas also, so mine are very broken in by the time I walk a Camino. I dispose of them once I reach Santiago.What was the model of Hoka you were wearing?
I'm sorry, but cannot recall the model. They served me well and I have long since donated them to a charity shop.What was the model of Hoka you were wearing?

I had no idea.And One One is not pronounced like the number one. It's pronounced o-nay o-nay.
And I had no idea when I walked the Le Puy route in France that the word "Gite" pronounced in English is actually pronounced "Jeet" in French.I had no idea.
I go for comfort, and know that my shoes will just make it to Santiago. I don't have higher expectations than that.
