@piperruiz: 👟 Gore-Tex vs Non-Gore-Tex trail shoes — which should YOU wear? 🌧️ Gore-Tex: this means they are waterproof, great for cold, wet conditions… but once water gets in, it takes a long time to dry 🌬️ Non-Gore-Tex: more breathable, dries faster, and better for long miles and warmer weather ⛰️ The “best” shoe depends on terrain, climate, mileage, and how long you’ll be out there There’s no one-size-fits-all — choose the shoe that supports your adventure, not just the marketing 💪 #TrailRunning #HikingTips #GearTalk #CaminoTraining #TrailShoes

Hi Piper! I'm doing the CF from mid-March thru late April. I'm taking my Patagonia Torrentshell, which is heavy but great in wind/rain, and also a Patagonia R1 Air fleece. Do you recommend taking a puffer jacket too? It would be 30oz total of warm layers if I do - is that overkill?

Hi Piper, love your videos, they are SUPER helpful! I’m planning to do my first 100km Camino in mid March, and as I’ve heard it might be quite rainy, I’m thinking gore tex, is that the right feeling I have? Thanks in advance!

What is considered a ”long hike”? I’m a beginner wanting to get into hiking. I really like the On Cloudrock design but they don’t have non-waterproof shoes so was wondering if it’s still worth it

Hi Piper. I’m not very active. I’m a plumber and I never thought I would love hiking. Your videos are great. Model a few hiking pants when you get a chance.

Do you think Hokas will be fine? We are walking from Porto and going end of May. I just think buying new shoes now will end in blisters 😅
