Awesome, Cejanus! Thanks for the detailed explanation. My feet do the same thing and it was the first thing I started concentrating on. In addition to the pumice stone, I have found nightly use of a black nail file (coarse) helps as well as a combination of applying Salicylic Acid (found in over...
Cejanus, sounds like a great plan! What do you do for foot preparation this far out? I'm looking for all the best ways to prepare for my first walk next September.

Hi, I'm in the very beginning embryonic stages of conceiving my first Camino for sometime next year. I've been lurking on this site for a short time only. I haven't figured out how to choose my route yet. In fact, if you can point me to a good thread about the various routes, I'd appreciate it...
