[QUOTE="good_old_shoes, post: 1157581, member: 47112"] I wear old school Tevas. One pair is so old I don't even know the model, it is not available anymore. The other ones are classic style lightweight ones, I think they're something like the Hurricane xlt. Very happy with them, but of course it depends on your feet what works for you and what doesn't. It certainly is "Camino chic" and the fashion snobs will give you funny looks, but I don't mind anymore and even wear them at home [ATTACH]151670[/ATTACH] Edit to add: Never had problems knocking toes. I even run downhill sections like after the Alto del Perdon. Only injuries I got walking in the sandals were pressure blisters (own fault, too heavy pack, too long walking days, too much asphalt for weeks). And last year I got a stress fracture in the foot because my old Tevas died on tour and I had to buy a different pair that didn't fit well (not much choice in rural France), which lead - again with stupid decisions - to the injury. It wasn't the sandals fault but mine! I still walk in sandals and finished that Camino also in sandals. What I learned is to make sure to have a good new pair for a long tour and backup of the same model. And that the Teva Tirra don't fit my feet at all 😂. [/QUOTE]
