Winter backpacking shoes
I'm currently planning a trip for multiple weeks in Europe (Austria / Poland) this autumn and I'm questioning my shoe choice. My type of travel is : lots of hiking, moving all day, sleeping in hostels or buses.
I'm completely convinced by the trail runners supremacy, I've been going all around with the brooks cascadia for a year and they were great !
But they can reach their limits when spending multiple days in a row in rain and cold (which is what's expected for my trip) : they won't dry overnight because they're soaked and even dry, they can't keep my feet warm as well as i want them too.
I know that every shoes will get wet at some point, and that the longer they take to get wet, the longer they will take to dry ... However I feel that in rainy + cold condition like I expect, I will have wet feet for all my trip after the first day of rain ...
Considering all that, do you have any recommendation for me ? I used to have waterproof Salomon Xultra : not very sustainable and end up getting wet quite fast ... Or maybe should I go back to the traditional leather boots ?!
