I can imagine what response I am going to get (!!), but I am seriously thinking about bringing a second, spare pair of boots with me in addition to the open sandals I will be carrying to change out of my boots after each day's walk.
Is this totally ludicrous or is there possibly a grain of sense in doing so. I'm wondering whether I might need a change because of wear and tear over 800k, whether it's worthwhile to have a dry change, or for whatever other reason related to belt and braces back-up and the potential expense of both time and money of having to find another pair en route.
Or is another 1.5/2kg (guestimate) going to be just too much extra weight to carry.
Would value your thoughts, and will be interesting to see if there are any other caminante who have doubled up previously.
PS. Have not seen Martin Sheen's film yet, but noticed on the dvd sleeve that he has a shoe box attached to the outer of his pack. Perhaps he had to buy some en route!
