    Ride share Pamplona airport to SJPDP-April 30 evening?

    …and my shoes are sold out (Altra help/recommendations!)

    I appreciate the help! Yes, but they don’t carry a 14 for them. The shoe itself isn’t the problem as much as the size. So I’m looking to pivot

    Hello all. I’ve got a relatively large shoe size (US14) and I love the Altra Olympus because they’re zero drop, super plush, and have a wide toe box. Problem is they’re sold out EVERYWHERE.

    Overweight on the Frances?

    I'm planning (yes, this far in advance!) for a 2024 trip, Camino Frances, starting in SJDPD. I'm pretty overweight (6'1, 265lbs; 185cm, 120 kg). I began at 285lbs. I'm also youngish (30) and in decent shape for someone my size (I've run a few half-marathons and comfortably walk about 20,000...
