[QUOTE="C clearly, post: 490618, member: 1589"] The thinking is simply that you shoes or boots should be plenty roomy! It is thoroughly discussed on [URL='https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/feet-growing-while-on-camino.45999/#post-488172'][B]this thread[/B][/URL]. .You shouldn't make your decision on the basis of the number displayed on the box. An arbitrary number of sizes "bigger than normal" does not make sense. Are the models otherwise identical? What size units are people talking about - US half sizes, US full sizes, UK sizes, or European? How roomy are your "normal" shoes, and do you have long toes or short ones like mine that never get near the end of a shoe? Every time you buy new shoes or boots, you will have to judge how big to go without going too big. I find a model that fits most "like a glove" and seems the best shape for my foot. Then I try the next larger size. If it is not "too big," I try the next larger size. When I get to the too-big one, I back up and buy the previous one. Then I go to a mall for some brisk indoor walking to confirm that it's OK, perhaps switching socks or inner soles. I do this for all my walking shoes/boots, whether camino or not, but it is certainly more critical for the camino. I [I]could[/I] wear smaller shoes for most purposes but don't see any reason to do so, so now this is my "normal" size. [/QUOTE]
