    Video from a walkers perspective

    Thanks everyone, people have responded quite positively. It has now been seven months since I did the Camino, but the video takes me back instantly. I'm glad it does that for others as well.

    Vibram FiveFingers - How many people have used these?

    Well, I finished my Camino on August 16th. I have to say I can't imagine having done it in VFFs. As I said earlier, doing so seems like it would have been, for me, a distraction from the "experience." AND I did not see a single pair on my journey! Rats! Anyhow, here's a little video I made of...

    Video from a walkers perspective

    Here is a simple video reminder for us veteran pilgrims and future pilgrims of what it is like to actually walk the Camino. There are no people pictures, or accompanying music, just the quiet of the wind and my footsteps. If it's too boring, just watch the last minute when I arrive in Santiago...

    Vibram FiveFingers - How many people have used these?

    Thanks ffp13 for a real example of people struggling with VFFs. It's good to hear from the other side. And this discussion of additional weight because of backpacks is also very helpful. I hadn't considered that before.

    Vibram FiveFingers - How many people have used these?

    Don't worry about it all guys, renegadepilgrim and caminado. I would lve to hear someone say VFFs suck and give another perspective, perhaps from someone who tried them, but hated them. And, while I believe in this whole barefoot phenom and it's benefits, I'm honest- some may percieve it as a...

    So, renegade pilgrim, you wore VFF's exclusively?

    Vibram FiveFingers - How many people have used these?

    I'll be using the Salomon's that I have used hiking around Hong Kong for this last year, and I will be wearing a brand new pair of Teva Hiking sandals in my down time, or as an alternative to my Salomons. I'm breaking in the sandals for hiking even now, and for the next two weeks. But again, the...

    Vibram FiveFingers - How many people have used these?

    I decided not to use them because a) not enough time to break them in, b) I don't want to add any additional suffering, and b) it feels like, for me, it would be too much of a distraction mentally and emotionally. Kudos to all who wear them, though. I'll be keeping my eye out for these unique...

    weather in july

    Simdel and others. I just did a quick search and found this: Weather in Northern Spain in July July is a good time to head to the Basque Country and other parts of northern Spain. The rain has mainly subsided and generally warm days can be expected. The weather isn't as reliable as it is in the...

    Vibram FiveFingers - How many people have used these?

    Rebekah. Cool, did you get any impressions from the other 10? I'm 43, but 95% ready to take the plunge and do it. (A side question: how did you see so many people going by? Were you sitting on the road, or going more slowly than others? Or were there really a lot of people walking by, i.e...

    Vibram FiveFingers - How many people have used these?

    I'm starting my Camino on July 14th and am going to buy VSO Treks tomorrow. How many people have used these? I've only read of 2-3 people so far. Would you recommend them to others? What problems/difficulties did you encounter? I will have a pair of Tevo Sandals with as a backup, and I'm not...
