I loved Lone Peak but this year switched model to the Olympus. Same fit, a little more support. I also glued a piece of foam from my LP into one arch on the Olympus because I know my pronation is getting worse. I bought the Olympus 1 week prior to departure. I’m now 100k in on the Salvador, no issues.Starting Camino on 9/15 from SJPP. So excited! I have been wearing Lone Peak 6 and love them. But last week my feet started to ache (I’m 62 and have been active my entire adult life and this is a first.) I have been using them the last three months. Dare I get a more supportive shoe this late in the game or will having a second pair (which I already have) work? Anyone else have this happen with them? Thank you!

Have you tried Keens hiking sandals with an insole I lost 4 toenails on first camino and had many bad blisters. Changed to keens 8 caminos later no broblem just a thought good luck, Buen Camino.Starting Camino on 9/15 from SJPP. So excited! I have been wearing Lone Peak 6 and love them.

How many km/miles have you walked in those shoes? I don't know about the Lone Peaks, but some running shoes lose their cushioning and stiffness after about 500 km. T
I agree! I do have a newer pair. Thank you, appreciate your thoughts.I was thinking that they might have lost their cushioning and it could be time for a new pair. I certainly wouldn't take trail runners that I had already worn for three months on the Camino. If they are shoes that work for me I would buy a new pair for the Camino, and take them out on a couple of trial walks just to check if there are any manufacturing defects that cause irritation.
Four toenails! Had a friend tell me about Keens just today. Thank you.Have you tried Keens hiking sandals with an insole I lost 4 toenails on first camino and had many bad blisters. Changed to keens 8 caminos later no broblem just a thought good luck, Buen Camino.

I am far from an expert on shoes, but perhaps you could check out trail running shoes? I am impressed by the improvements in cushioning in recent years, initiated by Hoka. Very light weight, thick and cushiony foam is being integrated into a number of brands, which will be particularly helpful on the paved portions of the Frances. Others may recommend shoes with more structure and support. You will have to figure out what works for you.Starting Camino on 9/15 from SJPP. So excited!

I think some deep tissue massage would be the solution (if not frequent). Supportive shoes just make our feet ‘lazy’ - the 26 bones & musculature’s primary role is to create a ‘spring / rebound’ mechanism to facilitate our mobilityStarting Camino on 9/15 from SJPP.

I go a full size up from my actual size. I find that I am less likely to lose a toenail (I've lost 4 over the years, and most have recovered). I don't know what to say about the stability when hiking downhill other than maybe your shoelaces needed to be tightened? For me, if my laces are loose, then I lose stability. I stop and tighten. But not too much because then my feet hurt. This is simply my personal experience.I have also settled on Altra lone stars for my upcoming Camino and have decided to buy a new pair before I leave. I am still undecided about sizing. Did people that used them size up as is recommended for hiking shoes? my current pair is half a size larger than I would usually wear which is fine but on a recent hike in the mountains I struggled on the way down because there was too much room in the toe box and I felt somewhat unstable on steep uneven terrain. Do feet swell that much in trail runners that upsizing is necessary?
No shoe will be perfect for all situations. You should experiment with lacing (e.g. heel lock) and with sock combinations. Maybe even add/remove a second sock as required. In my mind, the worst mistake is having a shoe that is too small.on a recent hike in the mountains I struggled on the way down because there was too much room in the toe box and I felt somewhat unstable on steep uneven terrain.
