[QUOTE="MarkyD, post: 1231443, member: 82926"] Buckle up everyone, diverse opinions flying in on this one. Here is what worked for me: 1. Comfort 2. Breathable 3. Light 4. Space in toebox 5. Keep feet dry - change socks every 2 to 3 hours if it's warm and feet sweat. Easily done on breaks, airing feet at the sane time. I kept a small microfibre towel to dry my feet too. 6. Talcum powder in the day while walking, vaseline or similar to give feet TLC after showering I started with hill-walking boots (Salomon QUEST 4GTX), but they overheated my feet, which led to some blisters. They did provide good ankle support though, which was great for the section from SJPP to Puente la Reina. A bit further on, in Viana, I had to buy lighter, breathable trail shoes (Merrell ALLOUT BLAZE AERO) due to the heat, which "saved my Camino. Despite these adjustments, I did suffer 12 days of uncomfortable shin splints, which was something I wasn't aware of before starting my Camino. Buen camino! [/QUOTE]
