[QUOTE="MichaelB10398, post: 49431, member: 6406"] Though I might be very hesitant to take the current shoes on Camino, there are alternatives if you choose to keep the shoes. You indicated that they are a size larger. If you did not wear two pair of socks, then that is a immediate correction. In addition, rub your feet with vaseline or comparable product to lubricate your feet and make them easier to prevent blisters from forming. If you choose to buy new shoes, it is not necessary to buy boots unless you are walking some of the more difficult trails. If you are walking the Frances hiking shoes would be more than adequate. Brands are different and each will find more comfort with some rather than others. I don't care for Eccos; I prefer Keens. If you are going to buy another pair, you need to do it immediately so that you can get some degree of wear with them. Some of the newer shoes/boots don't need a lot of breaking in, but you need to become familiar with them and how best to wear socks, etc. It is as Annie says, a good thing to discover this now rather than on Camino. Use this time wisely to heal and prepare for a blister-free Camino. [/QUOTE]
