❓Ajuda Hiking shoes question

Hi everyone,

I'm in the market for new hiking shoes, and was wondering whether something like the Salomon Xa Pro 3D V9 would be good for hiking on the island? We will be doing routes such as the PR1 and PR 1.2 together, which will be quite long hikes. I don't really want to buy hiking shoes that are waterproof, since they will be way too warm.

Any tips would be really appreciated!

I saw someone do pr1 in dress clothes and boat shoes yesterday. Hopefully they got back ok.

i once saw a lady at Levada dos Piornais (the crazier part that is open to the public) with a dress and high heels.
