[QUOTE="Ceci, post: 216320, member: 36274"] Well, as you said, feet are strange things, and mine are stranger than many, with Morton's neuroma, and they are flat, very wide feet. I thank you for your input. It has made me think that I should not mess with what it working and just wear the waterproof boots I used for the first 2 Caminos. I will be walking a similar distance, all within Galicia, which may mean heavy rain at times. I just do the Vaseline and heavy sock combo with the waterproof boots, and I am fine. I only ever got one blister and that was when I did not apply Vaseline before heading out on our first night of the Ingles. We were trying to walk some of the distance planned for the next day to get ahead of the game. I thought, because we were told, that the town we were walking to was at about 6K distance, when it was really at least 20K. We found the Camino Ingles very unfriendly, including vandalized way markers, but that's for another space. Not putting on the Vaseline was a mistake. It's the only blister I have ever had with my waterproof boots. My friend chose lighter, water-resistant boots, and had lots of blisters. She just dealt with the blisters and soldiered on. However, when we had to walk through an entire day douwnpour, my feet remained dry and hers did not. We like the mid height boots to keep us from twisting an ankle on uneven surfaces. We're not as young as we used to be and would hate to have to stop walking because of a twisted ankle. Buen Camino to all! [/QUOTE]
