[QUOTE="Jules67, post: 490825, member: 66727"] Hi Chris I'm doing my first Camino in April (not long now). I went to have my new boots fitted. I purchased a pair only to wear them at home in case I wanted to return them, which was what happened. One foot was fine but the other felt squashed after a few walks up and down the stairs so I returned them. I took the socks I intend wearing with me, these were sock liners and my walking socks. I was given a size 1/2 bigger to which they actually felt smaller but these were a different make, so I have gone up a whole size bigger. My thing with my feet are, sometimes I'm a size 5 or sometimes I'm a size 51/2. The makes are all different sizes too so I'd recommend trying lots on. So I wasn't sure what size I was to go for. So I've now gone for a size 6 1/2 which are absolutely fine with my 2 pairs of socks, I've also room for any swelling and/or plasters or bandages. But you right in not having the heel slip out. I was told this is where the blisters will start if your slipping out of the heel socket too much. I was recommended certain makes of walking boots but I've gone with what is more comfortable for me. Some boots are wider fitter than others so I'd say definitely try them all on and all different sizes. Wear them around the house with tags still on so you can return them if needed. These will be your best investment! [/QUOTE]
