Type of shoes

[dduroy]

The last thing I have yet to purchase is a pair of shoes to ride the Camino. I am mountain biking the walkers trail as much as possible so:
Do I need waterproof?
Should I choose shoes that I can walk in also?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have cycled il Primitivo twice and VDLP once and used mountain bike cycling shoes. I had no problems and never slipped. It all depends if you are comfortable wearing clip in shoes. If you are then you will not have a problem

I don't know if you have already completed your camino or not. If not, however, and you still need to buy shoes, I would definitely recommend Shimano. I bought a pair for cycling - they also have cleets although I did not use these. I not only rode, but did a lot of walking (mostly uphill on the road and on the trail) in these shoes and never had to worry about sore, aching feet.

I'd use platforms and touring shoes if I were you. It was hard for me to walk on cobbles and inside the church with my cleats on.
