ahhh, Bert, I envy your knees already.
Perhaps try to understand that the poles are completely necessary for some and perhaps a luxury for others, and a completely useless burden for others. Your Camino is different from my Camino

I wore a pair last year, 550km. And I had dry feet! No blisters! BUT, I think the tread was a bit too thin. I did not realize that Spain and the Camino was to be as rocky as it is.
I have bought and tried a few boots yet am not feeling committed to any of them.
Now going to consider some hiking...
Last year I walked mid sept to mid oct, about 550km. Not one blister or were my feet wet. Wearing Blundstones ...
Bought hiking boots and they are hot and there are spots. Considering doing the Camino in the Blundstones again.
