Nice video. You still sound very tired. I used to find that it took a full week to recover from a week in the bush. You probably need a lot more than that. Have fun. Good Luck, Rick
Seems to be a popular shoe. I looked at the women's speedgoat 5, and they were comfortable in the store, but then someone told me that because they do have the thicker sole, there's more of a chance to roll your ankle. I'm sure you're aware of that. I went with the women's Altra Lone Peaks, but I don't plan on rock scrambling. Just flat dirt trails for now.
I didn't think about rolling the ankle, but that's definitely a factor. I felt a little less ankle roll in the topos. The Altra's seem to be a great shoe. I'm likely to try them next.
I have backpacked about 125 miles in my Traverses and love them, they are a great bridge from boots to runners.
You can also use Engo blister patches inside the heel of the actual shoe to prevent blisters, as opposed to putting tape on your foot.

That 20 hours of drive time didn't help either. It definitely wasn't enough time for a full recovery.

I don't know of any brand of hiking shoes I've owned that the toe caps didn't start to or peel right off!😊
I didn't have any. I was wearing them a half size to full size larger so my toe cap caught a lot of rocks and roots.
I Fkn love mine! I have flat feet and I have become a big fan of the Traverse by Topo!
