[QUOTE="KiwiNomad06, post: 10261, member: 1840"] I am always a bit worried about shoes. Blisters on the heels from shoes that are a little loose there are a pain. But you can deal with them. I once got an infection under my big toenail from boots that were too tight. And it only took two days of a four day walk to achieve that. By Day 4 my toe was in agony. The shop I bought my new shoes from this year were somewhat surprised to see me back buying a bigger pair. But a few long walks were enough to show me the error of my ways with the first pair. Not enough room around the toes on the descents. The other thing I have been careful to do this time is to pay attention to the sole and I have chosen a good Vibram sole. I thought my previous shoes were OK, but last year while I was descending Croagh Patrick in Ireland, in the rain, it was obvious they were not OK for slippery places. I slipped on wet stones and was rolled around on the ground by the strong wind. Most undignified!!! But at least my biggest injury, other than a bruised elbow, was to my pride. [/QUOTE]
