Hi all,
You've convinced me that trail runners are the way to go.

You also gave me the great advice to walk for hours before going to try on shoes. I did that today, and whoa, I'm in a bigger shoe!
The most comfy model was the Brooks Adrenaline. But now I have to decide whether to get them in the waterproof or regular model for my summer Camino.
According to Mr. REI, the waterproof ones will take a long time to dry if they get wet around the tops - and he implied that they would if it rains. The regular ones will get instantly wet if I step in a puddle, but then, he said, they would dry off quickly. What do you all think? (I plan to wear smartwool socks, if that makes any difference.)
