    Plantar fasciitis.

    I developed bilateral plantar fasciitis (and Achilles tendonitis) last year on the Norte. Outstandingly awful. I did the stretches and tennis ball, but I tell you, the thing that immediately helped me was switching to shoes (thank you, Connie) with a WIDE TOE BOX! I was more shocked that in all...

    When Posting Reviews on Gronze . . .

    Sadly, it seems indicative of the shortsighted times in which we live.

    WhatsApp, pay in advance?

    I never heard from my bank about this 'virtual card' but it sounds like a smart thing to do. I must inquire! Is it a card number that is a type of substitute (place holder, if you will) that you provide online or over the phone?

    How often do you take a break?

    Via Transilvanica

    I really enjoyed my time in Romania 20 years ago--the rural areas are quite beautiful. This seems to add to the opportunity to enjoy it more.

    St. Francis Way Assisi to Rome

    Do you mean you are allowed to cut to the head of the line, showing your credential? Or is there a special line for pilgrims at the Vatican? What is the address you mean for ordering a credential? Thanks.

    Experience with Plantar Fasciitis

    I hear you--had to cut short my Norte walk in October because of it (plus Achilles tendonitis) due to poor footwear (even though my boots are well made and expensive--just not the right thing for me). I have been doing all the things mentioned, plus reviewing Bob and Brad on youtube. They have...

    Hoka speed goat 5 vs hoka anacapa breeze also a sock question

    Where did you find the best way to lace shoes? I used to have a photo display of the various ways to lace shoes, but the other year there was some weird flicker on my laptop screen and a number of things disappeared, including my lace-up info.
