Too big shoes?
When researching for my own Camino, I found discussions like this a bit difficult if people didn't say whether they were referring to UK, EU or US sizing when "going up a size".

Vigo-Santiago: Will cushioned road shoes be OK?
Just popping back in with an update that I decided to buy Brooks Glycerin GTS 20, and finished the Vigo-Santiago route with no problems at all.

Vigo-Santiago: Will cushioned road shoes be OK?
Hello everyone, This is my first post but I've been lurking for quite a while and love the discussions here. I'll be walking the last 100 km of the Portugues from Vigo this May. One of my walking companions is in her fifties with some previous ankle and toe issues. For that reason we are...- couchkoala
