We’ve had plenty of footwear discussion lately. I have a question for folks experienced in hiking trails in Ireland. I’m heading over in May and will be walking part of the Kerry Way as well as other trails. I see the Irish tend to wear waterproof boots rather than low trail runners. I am very comfortable in trail runners at this point, in just about all the conditions I’ve hiked in. The only conditions I prefer my mids are in deep mud, or when going cross country on tussocks, spongy tundra, etc. For this hike I’ll be on trails, but very likely to get wet feet frequently. Pondering which to use. I may bring both anyway, because I’ll use the trail runners around towns, etc.
I’m also interested in any strong recommendations for other hikes in Ireland. Our itinerary is half planned/scheduled but we have some free time too.
Thanks in advance!
