choosing shoes for hiking in the pyrenees

We’re planning a big hiking trip to the Pyrenees this June, and honestly, I’m stuck on what shoes to bring. The trails are up around 6,500 to 10,000 feet, and I keep picturing myself either sweating buckets in heavy boots or slipping around in my lighter trail runners. I’ve got these Salomon X Ultra 5 Mid boots with Gore-Tex, which are sturdy but always make my feet feel like they’re in a sauna. On the other hand, my Brooks Cascadia 16s are so much lighter and let my feet breathe, but I’ve never tried them on a real mountain trek—just local trails and city parks. I’m worried the Brooks might not have enough grip or ankle support if the weather turns or the path gets rocky. Has anyone actually hiked this route with lighter shoes? Did you regret not bringing boots, or did you end up loving the freedom? I’d hate to be the person holding up the group because my feet are soaked or blistered halfway through. It’s always a toss-up: comfort and sweat, or safety and sore ankles. Why can’t there be a perfect shoe for everything? #hiking #pyrenees #outdoorgear #Travel
