    How much distance do hiking shoes last?

    I walked in Montrail mountain shoes, they are great. Never had a blister and they lasted the Camino and are still good enough to hike in, very light weight for their durability, maybe some need boots, I have strong ankles. Go to a good outdoor store and find an experienced shoe sales person...

    So sad

    Fellow pilgrims, let us dwell of the beauty, the good, and the faith of the Way, and not give any power to the relatively nonexistent experiences that create fear and doubt.
