Hi
I'm going to be walking from Leon to Santiago in June 2013...I bought a pair of light weight hiking shoes and have been breaking them in, but leave my running shoes in the car to switch into after the practice hikes. My feet always say "Ahhhh...sweet relief" getting into the running shoes...so I was thinking of using them on sections where there's a lot of/mostly pavement...I think my first day coming out of Leon is mostly pavement...anyway, what's your opinion? On rocky terrain, I think using something with a tougher sole might be better, but for pavement walking...? I've been reading in the forums but I guess I just want some confirmation that this is an ok idea! :roll:
(I had such a hard time finding a comfortable hiking shoe...I have a very wide toe box and had to go up a size and a half for width comfort w/ socks, but there's just so much room above the toes that I slide around, even with liner and wool socks...)...
thanks for any advice...
