[QUOTE="Bradypus, post: 1209869, member: 42372"] I gave up buying big brand-name specialist walking boots some years ago when I discovered more or less by chance that the cheap leather safety boots sold for construction workers were just as comfortable and effective for me at a fraction of the price. So I then tried the lighter fabric versions of safety boots and they worked fine too. At Merida on the Via de la Plata a couple of years ago I had to replace the pair I was using and opted for the cheapest and lightest boots on offer in Decathlon at about 18 euro. Which took me comfortably all the way from Merida to Santiago, served for a few months of daily wear at home, then all the way from SJPDP to Leon before being replaced with a near-identical pair. I do sometimes wonder how much the placebo effect plays in our footwear choices. My own experience in recent years has been that if it is a decent fit it will probably do the job. [/QUOTE]
