yes offcourse i did try both on i wanted to see what is the diffrence between themThere is no way anybody can make this decision for you. You need to try the shoes on and walk around in them because the only good shoes/boots are those that fit YOU. Welcome to the forum btw ;-)

i thought of getting goretex but then saw mixed reviews on them drying to slow or frying ur feet did u do the camino with goretex shoes in may?I hear mixed reviews on Salomon.....i would take a good look at Aku (Italian), Mammut (Swiss ) and Hanwag (Bavaria).....All super-premium and totally reliable. Go for a good ’Vibram’ sole and definitely include a Gortex layer in whatever you buy.....dry feet are happy feet, wet feet are miserable and prone to blisters ! Good luck and Buen Camino !
Go for a gortex layer in your chosen footwear whatever you do.....camino in May you will get rained on several times and keeping your feet dry is critical. I would also carry dry clean socks in a waterproof bag inside your backpack to change into on a wet day as and when needed.....keep your feet as dry as you can !!i thought of getting goretex but then saw mixed reviews on them drying to slow or frying ur feet did u do the camino with goretex shoes in may?

If you want advice go to the Guru or all things Camino equipment @davebugg you will have more than enough expert information to guide you. But it comes down to what feels right for you. Also get a larger size as your feet will expand. Some say 1/2 a size others a full size. I go a full size larger and a wide trail runner. But that is me. Lots of people say if your socks move in your shoe too much it causes friction and causes blisters. I don't have that problem. See it is all user specific!!! Buen Camino and ASK DAVE!hey guys!
so im going in may ,and after research i decided i will get the salomon shoes im now debating between the x ultra 3 to xa pro 3d what do you guys think? i understand gore-tax is not recommended as well
would love to hear ur advice
Try on "the" shoes, maybe try others too, test them in the store, remember it rains in Spain. Buy shoes as early as possible and wear them daily, even for formal affairs. "Be on with the shoes" reviews are personal opinions guided by personal experience. I recently bought shoes getting ready for a week-long trek and I didn't buy the one I thought I'de like. I saved $100 and the new shoes are great.hey guys!

The general advice is to bring the shoes that fit to your feet... but only one(!) pair of walking shoes (because of the weight). You can change mid day e. g. your socks. And: Do not pack your fears (because of the weight)!I'm planning on bringing a pair of Altra Trail Runners and a pair of Altra Lone Peak RMS water proof. Both are light shoes. It's my first Camino. I may regret it, weight wise, but I doing the fear packing thing. Planning to change shoes mid day.
Good move!too late already ordered non goretex
