Post a Picture of Shoes or Boots

[ELHS220]

Recently someone started a "POST YOUR SHADOW" thread and the resulting pictures were awesome. I was rather hung up on discarded boots and shoes and photographed them at every opportunity. My favorite is this pair I saw as I approached Cirauqui (Navarra). Anyone else have some good footwear pics?

Reminds me of this adorable little Asian man walking towards us Peregrinos headed to SDC. He was so cute...he had a piece of paper safety pinned to his shirt on which, he had drawn a big blue arrow (pointing straight up). He was going to Fatima. I gave him a thumbs up...he nodded and continued upstream like Salmon.

My daughters...no mistaking these in the boot rack first thing in the morning!

If you want to photograph abandoned boots or shoes, please follow this up with either finding a second use for the footwear or carrying it to a suitable place to dispose of it. We don't want to encourage bad habits. However, I do see how a photo of footwear tells the story of a long walk.

At first I thought that the large rock in the background was IN the shoe. Trompe-l'œil.

Someone else posted the same pair above. Cool. Thank you.

Woops yes. I hadn't seen that one.

These are my own shoes, after completing Primitivo last September…

I walked my first and only Camino in the fall of 2016. When I got home, I planted succulents in the shoes I walked with.

I cleaned one shoe in Ponferrada. I was surprised at the colour - I had forgotten what they looked like.

This was in April 2019 on the Via Francigena just outside Ponte D’Arbia.

I must be leading a very sheltered life--where did you get these fabulous shoelace gizmos?????!!!!!?????

 

[Anniesantiago]

Before Camino and After Camino - These aren't the same pair of shoes, but each year I buy a pair of New Balance shoes. They look all shiny and new at the beginning and by the time I leave (usually after walking 5-6 weeks) they are being held together with duct tape! lol! I still love them for their wide, high toe box, support, and comfort.

 

[TSchulen]

Last ones out the door...

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I only now discovered this thread as I was on the Camino when it started so missed it...I'm loving it now!
Here are my shoes on the Primitivo. I'd noticed how they were the same color as the slate bluestone even before they got dirty.


Here are a pair of wooden "Dutch" garden shoes. I was very surprised they are still used in the 21st century...and a gentleman modeling them for me when I asked for a picture.

Good pun! I'm glad this thread got resurrected as there is such a variety of shoes and each pair tells a different story.
This photo of colorful crocs was taken on the Le Puy route. The only place I have ever stayed where the owner provided these shoes to wear in her gite after removing pilgrim dusty/dirty trail shoes.

 

[Old Hillwalker]

Botas at Albergue Triacastela and the biggest Dog feet I have ever seen. Human's foot was size 14 US (48 EU)

 

[ktchnofdngr]

I seem to actually have very few pictures of shoes….instead, I have tons of pictures of my feet soaking in water: streams, pools, rivers.

So, here is a picture from my second Camino of a puppy curled up beside my shoe, as well as a picture from the end of my last Camino. Yes, the latter is shoeless, but it is probably my favorite picture from last Summer.

I found another one! Santiago de Compostela

The very first (and yes, the most special) Camino, CF 2016. Towards the end the shoes were so "holy" that the sand and dust got in. However, they made it.

Make sure you warn people not to buy that particular brand, whatever it is. Yikes!

Well, not exactly hiking boots, they were Brooks Ghost running shoes. Perfect shoes, my favourite model but obviously not made to last.

not mine, saw these on the side of the road.
