[QUOTE="spinnaker, post: 1146510, member: 107709"] SabsP, The moment I saw your remark about Forum Sport’s Logroño store this morning I immediately called them only to learn that they were 3 minutes from closing time and would not re-open until this evening. Thankfully they agreed to stay open a few minutes longer which meant that I had to literally run 0.3 miles on my screaming blisters eventually arriving at the store. En route to the store the wind blew my sun hat off my head. I could not find it anywhere on the street until a passerby explained that the hat had become lodged within the upper frame of my backpack. I was hoping to buy the Hurricane model Teva sandals, but the only available Teva sandals in the store in my size was an unfamiliar model that apparently was released very recently, “Teva Winsted”. I wasn’t able to find many reviews for Winsted, so I am uncertain how well they will withstand the daily wear and tear of the Camino. Although for the 50 Euros I paid, I will take the gamble in the hope that they will do the trick. I am wearing them now in combination with the pair of Superfeet orthotic inserts recommended by my podiatrist. Forum Sports also had (70 Euro) Merrell sandals but they seemed to have a very minimal arch. In my case, a substantial arch is critical, because I have collapsed arches. kelleymac, I recently spoke to my podiatrist back home. He suggested that I stop wearing thick wool Darn Tough socks and switch over to thinner, synthetic socks. The thinner socks seem to be the correct solution for me, because when wearing Hoka Stinson and Keen boots, thicker socks left precious little room between the top of my feet and the ceiling of the shoe. In my experience, a few millimeters of additional free space can translate into a superior walking experience. Thanks again for your prompt input! [/QUOTE]
