How about you don't watch it then.

@@drummerja0g yes thanks Einstein but as you might be able to figure out from my comment it’s a little too late

@@lazydave1140 I am glad you acknowledged my superior intellect.

more then likely availability- i've never met someone who personally likes an orange jacket lol but if you're concern is about being able to be spotted from a mile away, you get orange lol

I know what you mean my work around for this was - If you unloosen straps right up until you can get your finger after squeeze underneath. This will resolve this problem.

@@16yearstravel I tried using the BR's looser - the Lunas are still cooler irregardless. But because the BR's adjust more easily that my leather laced Lunas - I use them more in cooler weather sometimes with Toe or Tabi socks.

I think you can in the states 🤔 I live in New Zealand. So it’s a little bit different with the shipping costs Maybe that has changed recently 🤔 Thank you. I will look into this again. as I am hoping to get my old ones done.

@@16yearstravel Yeah I guess the service would be different if you’re not in the states. I always take that sort of thing for granted.

Wow thank you ! I appreciate that 😊

All good - enjoy - break them in slowly

These sandals are true to size - don’t get them bigger than your normal shoe size - my shoes size is 10 & 1/2 UK or 11 & 1/2 US. they don’t do half sizes I don’t believe … On my bedrocks it says 11/12 US that will translate into a size 10 UK. The half a size are usually there because I have wide feet. A good way to figure this out is - get a bit technical - draw around your feet, while standing on paper or cardboard - measure the distance - make sure your pencil is vertical, whilst you’re drawing around your feet. Also, look at all your; shoes/trainers/ runners- whatever you have and see if there is a consistency in the sizing you already possess. Just by looking at that, should give you an accurate idea on the shoe size/sandals size you need. These sandals are not like normal flip-flops or thongs as they’re called in Australia . There isn’t much overhang on the ankle area or front toe. I would say if you can fit your finger in the front and one in the back, while standing directly over the top of the sandal. you’ll on a winner. I can barely get my finger in the front and the back. “you don’t want to have too much overhang” especially on the front. as when you’re going over varied services These are the points that will catch. So it does literally have to mirror your foot with not a lot of overhang - 1.5 - 2cm sounds about right to me. I would try and keeping it to the 1.5cm side. By measuring your foot on a piece of paper and adding 1 - 1.5cm you should be sweet. ( it sounds to me like you would be in an 11/12 sandal size. As you have size 11 us feet the same as me

@@16yearstravel thankyou! My size EU is 42 and a half but i think the 11 is my size for the bedrocks and also my birthday number 🙏🏽

I replied to the other one. so yes, you have the same size feet as me. You will need “”” 11/12 - bedrock, sandal size. ””””

@@16yearstravel respect everytime! 🦵🏽

Yeah right …. I didn’t realise that…. I had to tighten the screws on mine because they would slip a bit under weight. .. I think they need tightening, straight out of the box. if you’re a heavy person like me ( 110 kg ) and carrying a full 65 L pac. Maybe you could send a picture I would be interested to see them 🤔

Thank you for your comment - I’ve never used the other thing you’re suggesting. So I can’t compare them. but what I can say is I’ve worked in the trade industry for the past eight years now and i use mine for work every day. So I would have to say I disagree with a lot of what you said in regards to functionality and the build quality . Also, they have a fantastic warranty. If anything brakes they replace it sometimes they replace the whole thing. That’s why they are expensive - I know because I broke mine, probably doing something I wasn’t supposed to with it and they replaced it with a brand-new one. - No questions asked - But that’s just my personal opinion using the tool for nearly a decade for work 🤷🏻‍♂️…

Yes, you can deathly not go wrong with these they are bombproof they are a bit aggressive when you first get them ( tough material ) I’d even wear these in more than I would wear a pair of boots, in. Am also into barefoot take some moisturising cream for the backs of your heels, as the Camino dries your feet out - side tip 😁

@@16yearstravel Ah, I hadn't thought about that at all, thanks for the tip! I'm definitely planning to wear them in as much as possible before I head off.

@@travismoore7763 the 3-D version have a softer bubble effect on the soul - they aren’t as aggressive as the Sandpaper style, diamond shape on the “non-3-D” version. Bought both are very stiff, given that minimalistic Look. I suggesting putting a minimum of 50 miles to 100 km on them before going. I envy you walking the Camino - I hope to walk again someday soon Last tip - after walking 4 Camino’s Don’t get caught off in powerwalking with other people or trying to keep up with them. I made that mistake. I was usually the 1st to the accommodation. I learned my lesson, the hard way it’s much better to walk as if you have all the time in the world, and remember when you just want to get there. Remember where you are what you’re doing and slow down. Lastly, talk to everybody, but never ask them why they walking the Camino foursome. It’s a very private affair and they will let you know if they already Buen Camino !

@@16yearstravel I think I'm going with the non-3D's after all (no stock in the UK so have to order from the US anyway). I always enjoy ground-feel in my shoes so I think they'll suit me best. I'll be sure to break them in properly before I go, it's been a bit since I've hiked so I could use the training anyway ha Thanks so much for all the tips, I'm really looking forward to it!

@@travismoore7763 you’re welcome - good luck with it all

I don’t have one of those speedometers, unfortunately - but it kept me awake pretty much all night - I would say at a guess 30/40 kms per hour Not sure really…… wait could have been more with the gusts

​@@16yearstravelas a rule of thumb, gusts will be 1 to 1½ times middle wind. 🌬️🍃

Yes, I hear the same from them - I tried to pitch the tent into the wind, feet 1st. (the thinner end) and yes, the 10mm poles with pegs - so far, they haven’t been necessary

I walked every day apart from a few with the bedrocks, the thin ones, cairn pro 2 The answer to your question is it varies Sometimes there were eight or nine hour days - some days 5h days when I was travelling through France I don’t suggest anyone goes straight out and starts doing those types of big days until they have built their feet, ankles and micro muscles up, through months of use with them… also, I just don’t like wearing boots/ trainers at the Best of times. my feet can’t breathe and I feel like I’m at work. as soon as I put the bedrocks on, I’m back on holiday again 😁 If I remember, I walked with them straight for just over two weeks maybe more 🤔and then I put the trainers on for one day and went back on to them ( bedrocks ) for another week and then the trainers. so I suppose having some soft trainers to take the load off every week or every other week does help. but everyone is different and all depends on the individual in the end Hope this helps 🙏

@@16yearstravel sorry, my question was a bit ambiguous. I wanted to see the *difference* you’d expect on the Camino (in kilometers or miles) per day with each type of shoe that you were comparing in the video… Cairn pro v 3D pro 2. I’m an experienced minimalist shoe wearer and hiker. I’m thinking of going to Cairns and wonder how big a difference the foot fatigue factor is between the two models in your video. Do you think you could walk more miles more comfortably with the 3D pro 2?

@@RC-qf3mp the answer to your question is definitely… I think the 3-D version would make it a lot easier on your foot on the Camino The reason I brought them is because I wanted to try to walk a full Camino with just those 3D pros and see what happens in regards to compression - my last ones, (cairn pro )compressed by nearly half . so if they do the same, ( 3D ) they would be roughly the perfect thickness In ending - I would suggest 3-D pros for the Camino for sure 👍

@@16yearstravel ok thanks. But the compression takes away from the degree of cushion. The cushion is in the air and space between material. When the material breaks down, it loses that space and becomes less soft/cushiony. Like smashing down feather pillow . The mass of the shoe stays the same, only it becomes compressed. All shoes with cushion eventually break down.

@@RC-qf3mp yes I agree - the reason I mentioned it is because I like the minimalistic feel. The 3D are a bit thick for me, ( day to day use on the trails ) but after walking at Camino, or whilst walking, they could compress to the perfect thickness over time ( to give me the cushioning and also, the minimalistic feel. so I can enjoy them similar to the cairn pros. With the addition of a few extra mm underfoot. Even when fully compressed.

😁

Thank you 🙏

@@16yearstravel Ordered my first pair today. Cairn Pro 2 👍🏾. Funny I was wishing they offered pro 2s in moss green and literally today they offered up a bunch of different colors including moss green 😎.

@@believeinjesus8300 that’s the colour I would like - enjoy mate

No, that was the old model - I did a video about the comparison

@@16yearstravel thanks, watched em all no. I have a pair of xeros very minimalist sandals , but the Velcro has really gone to crap.Carin Pros for me.👍🏾

Great comparison. However, I have read that the Cairn Pros are desugned more for water and wet, muddy conditions and the sole might be overkill if you're only wearing them in dry warmer weather. I am transitioning from decades in Tevas and want to get the right ones first time as they'll ne coming from America - (cant find any UK sellers at all! - please let me know if you know of any!) So wont be able to be sending them back. I would love to get your opinion on wht I should get for mainly dry warm weather hikes and possibly for paddleboarding in. Spend a lot of the year in southern Portugal... Many thanks in advance👍😎

Wow, Thank you ! I massively appreciate that. I’m doing a three day trek next week I will review them again then over multi days . My videos aren’t that great, but I try to be honest I will try to make my videos on smoother. I am purchasing a gimbal to help with this. Thanks again

That’s why I’m on the back of a trend Vietnamese bike guy ( it’s his business )- I wanted to drive my own bike but it’s really dangerous there, even if you know how to drive a bike, because the traffic just moves in a way, that’s not normal to westernise people

Sorry mate, I I’m not sure what you’re asking

@@16yearstravel duh! use google translate

Look at the internal zip, make sure that the external Zipper is running the same direction. Alternatively, mark the exterior outer shell With a marker with an L for left or a R for right at the bottom, as thick as a matchstick. That will help you orientate it

Thank you 🙏

Yeah, it seems to be a good all-rounder I think were it lacks in modern interior. It surpasses most in build quality. I think nothing is perfect, and there’s always a trade off with everything that you get in this life

​@@16yearstravel Interior could do with cieling pocket and black mesh instead of yellow. Newer designs have black mesh.

@@bcamping1 yes mate, I definitely agree with you. It’s deafly, not perfect and nothing is. But it seems strong, and hard wearing. which I’m hoping 🤞 will last a long time. Specially with the price tag attached. 😅
