[QUOTE="mikevasey, post: 65546"] Hi I asked a question about my boots for my 2nd camino, i had the problem that i was getting hotspots and aches on the top of my toes, between my middle and 2nd toe. One of the forum members suggested shoving tennis balls into my boots and pouring water into them, and then just forgetting about them for a while(3-4 weeks). It partially worked the pain and hotspots lessened a bit when i started wearing them again. They stretched out the toe area where i had placed them. Are you wearing two layers of socks? The inners being liners, and the outer are the proper walking socks. If you arent, consider it. This does stop or lessen blisters. Theres a couple of threads on this forum which everyone really goes into this topic. You dont say if your new hiking boots are leather, they have a reputation for being harder to break in and any feet will suffer a bit in this time. If i had stronger ankles i would go the cross trainer route, they feel so much better. I often stand in footwear shops staring enviously at cross trainers and hiking shoes :cry: Mike [/QUOTE]
