Sooo, I plan a short trip next month - 3/4 days, walking ~9 h per day, no camping, sleeping in huts.

Terrain is small mountains and hills, with grass and stones. Windy weather and rain quite possible (and so mud on trails as well).

Was seriously thinking purchasing hiking sandals but never had any of these before, always using running or hiking shoes... not sure what to expect.

Any opinions?
