Hi.
Need an advice.
Camino Frances definitely does not look like it needs boots, so I am trying to pick hiking shoes or trail runners.
My feet are a bit wide, I usually buy E size sneakers, if there is an E size available.
Salomons are definitely not for my feet, the toe box is too narrow, so the only comfortable shoe I found so far is a trail runner - Merell All Out Terra Trail.
Has anyone attempted to walk far in this, will it hold for 800 km, and am I making a mistake here?
Long way to New Zealandactually I have another word: zappos. At least in the US. I can't try on shoes in a store, but free shipping both ways? count me in.

Love Keens. Very wide toe box on the standard width shoes/boots and they have wide versions as well. Are available in shoes and hiking boots and Waterproof versions. I've got Lowa's, Merrell's and Salomon's, but none are as comfortable for long distances as Keens. Favourite models of Keens are Koven mid WP which are well priced, light and waterproof (normally last me 2 caminos) and the more expensive made in U.S. Durand's which are a little more durable. I prefer boots for ankle support and those days when/where sucking mud lives. I did buy Koven shoes for my daughter for her first Camino last year and she loved them with no blisters.

I like the Merrell Moab Ventilators in wide. Nice size toe box and they accommodate my aftermarket insoles.Hi.

sorryLong way to New Zealand
I normally wear 4E, and the wide fitting in the Targhee II was a good fit, although clearly the last dimensions may vary from model to model.Keens vary in their widths from style to style but do not run, as far as I have found, above a D width.

I don't think I've ever seen Oboz.I really like Oboz, I have wide feet and am onto my third pair. Would highly recommend them.
I'm currently walking in the Altra Lone Peak on the Via de la Plate. .. I love the foot shape with lots of toe room and they feel very comfortable underfoot EXCEPT... I am suffering foot pain and I've never had this before and I wonder if it's the zero drop on the shoe... I wish they made this shoe without this... they would be perfect then.I have wide feet and walked in Altra Lone Peaks. Loved them. No issues.
Buen Camino!

Sadly I think I'll swap them in Salamanca... I've asked my husband to post my old boots on for when I arrive.
Just something to consider... but I do love the foot shape and wish other manufacturers would follow suit.
Shoes are so personal, but I've just done it (4 days to go) in Hoka One One's 2E fitting with no trouble at all. Well aside from a small spate of blisters after some repetitive downhill. Good luck. If you can, walk 20K's and then go in to try them on late in the day to repeat the condition you will be walking in them in.Hi.

@Priscilla NC I'm hoping that they get better as I walk... they are very comfy and I love the width... I've not given up on them because the feel so good... and so light too.
I also bought new Teva's. .. exactly the same model/code/size as my old pair but they rub and are just not comfortable
I've asked hubby to send old ones too but he's had an email saying parcel can't be delivered and no one seems to know where the shoes are... might be sticking with these regardless now
just a thought but maybe the email was sent because the shoes are at the post office (i forget where he was mailing them to you) and cannot be sent to a street address....so it may be a waste of time/effort but maybe stop at the post office to be sure they are not waiting for you there.@Priscilla NC I'm hoping that they get better as I walk... they are very comfy and I love the width...

Annie, I wore NB 1080V5 on my walk, and they were really comfortable for my wide problem feet. Now after 700 miles they are wearing out and I need to replace them, but this model is no longer available. I'm not finding the new model NB Fresh Foam 1080 as comfortable. Have you found replacements for the NB1080V5 that you like? I wish I'd bought 3 pairs....You are not making a mistake if the shoes are comfortable and do not need breaking in.
I have EEE feet and I wear New Balance trail runners on an SL-2 shoe last which has a narrow heel and a very wide, deep toe box. I buy them 1.5 sizes larger than I normally wear because my feet swell while I"m walking and I can easily fill the extra space with socks if necessary.
