    Walking The Camino Without Training. Fool's Errand?

    Joe, I have just finished the Portuguese coastal camino. I had very little training. I just took it at my own pace, you will be surprised at how much ground you cover without any problems. I suffered with my feet but just prepare with compeed, muscle rub, pain killers just in case. Once you have...

    Shoe advice

    Wow dave so much advice. I think il invest in some insoles as I too suffer from the balls of my feet burning. I walked around the house up and down stairs and back around the house with proper socks and laces tied properly and the north face were comfortable. I was worried about the gap at the...

    Thanx Annie. I have them on now and am walking the house and doing stairs and because it's night time for me, my feet are a little hot so they are a much better fit. I was worried about the space around the tie but everyone has put me at ease that it's a good thing. Good fit at the heel so that...

    Shoe advice

    Thanx a million, socks are so important I have read that on so many pages and posts so I made sure to invest. I went with smart wool and they seem to suit my feet. They are light but cosy. I will be doing a pharmacy shop before I leave and bring everything just in case. Better to have than to be...

    Shoe advice

    Thank you so much for your reply. Isn't it annoying having feet that are a bit odd, makes shoe shopping a challenge. I have gotten so much amazing advice it has definitely helped me hatch a plan and get myself organised. I'm bringing Epsom salts so il do foot massages with them, that's a great...

    Shoe advice

    Annie thank you for your reply. I had considered going back for the smaller but won't now. The ones I have are comfortable but my concern was the gap at my toe but from the advice from yourself and others this might be a good thing. I am going to wear them tonight and see how comfortable they...

    Shoe advice

    Oh that's good advice on changing socks during the walking and I love vicks, so useful hadn't thought to bring it though. Thank you for that. Lost nails, Yikes not keen on that. I know I have left it so late to organise my footwear, rookie mistake. Especially considering my feet are so awkward...

    Shoe advice

    Excellent, I'm delighted you suggested that as that is what I was thinking. I'm lucky in that I don't get painful blisters however I have not walked distances this far before so I will be preparing for the worst.

    Shoe advice

    Hi Rick, I have good socks so that part is sorted thankfully. It's just the odd fitting shoes unfortunately. Thank you for your advice. I leave next Sunday so temperatures will be pleasant and the only reason I feel I need good shoes is if it rains as my trainers aren't water proof. I think I...

    Shoe advice

    Tia thank you for your reply. The problem is mainly at the toe. There is about an inch gap so I don't think even thicker socks will be much help as my foot slides down. I might just have to try another brand and take what I have back.

    Shoe advice

    Hi Davey, thank you for your reply. I'm in Ireland and I think il will have to try something else. I leave on Sunday so cutting it short. I have good trainers that will be a good second choice once it doesn't rain.
