[QUOTE="Anna Machial, post: 311195, member: 33642"] If a boot or shoe is well fitted you shouldn't have to 'break it in'. Just wear it to make sure its comfortable to begin with. If you're buying new, buy trail runners. They give traction yet are sweeter on the feet when walking asphalt. We saw several young fit men carrying their heavy hiking boots while wearing flip flops. Another we met had black toenails and could walk 10 km a day. We did the Primitivo and my daughter wore runners or chacos, and I switched to runners from hikers when we were on asphalt after getting sore toes and a blister from wearing just my hikers that I had used lots on mountain trails before I left. Never had a problem after that. My hikers were great for the mountain paths and mud but weren't necessary. [/QUOTE]
