Is this a good walking shoe for the Camino de Santiago? ( Brooks Ghost Max Review )

I've been trying out the Brooks Ghost Max shoe for the Camino de Santiago. You can use Amazon's try before you buy feature to see if they work for you:

if you are walking in July/August I would recommend the Primitivo - not as hot as the Frances , green ,beautiful mountain scenery but you might want more rugged footware. Walked it last August - gorgeous. Start with the San Salvador or Norte for a longer route.

Brooks Ghost Max v2 is about to release on July 1st though.

Looks like they did a pre-sale on July 1st and they will be available for delivery on July 31st. I checked with Dick's sporting goods and they didn't have any on order at the moment. I'll be leaving for Spain on July 14th, so I'll just use the current model and see how it goes. I do like that they've switched to the nitrogen infused foam on the new ones though.

@@TheCaminoGuide I believe they pushed back the initial release date on account of embargo.

Are the new shoes breathable and lightweight?

[@TheCaminoGuide]

Yes, they are comparable to hoka's or any other Max cushion shoe. Depending on the size, they are about 10 oz. There is a new version coming out for pre-sale on July 1st and the main difference is they are using the nitrogen infused foam in the new ones. The videos I watched indicate they may be slightly lighter weight. Not sure how the softer foam will affect the stability though.
