    Those who have walked at least one Camino - What are your favorite insoles and why?

    Superfeet, Tread Labs, etc and merely generic insoles so they are not made for your specific needs. Also, since all of us have differences between our left and right feet, each foot needs its own specific insole. IMO generic insoles do not help at all.

    InStrydes. https://getinstryde.com Fully-customized insoles at less than half the price!

    Struggling with 1/2 size larger - Lone Peaks - insole recs?

    As for insoles, I highly recommend you look into InStrydes. Go to getinstryde.com Don’t waste money on expensive custom insoles from a podiatrist. And IMO generic insoles like Super Feet provide minimal help (and can even be detrimental).

    Struggling with 1/2 size larger - Lone Peaks - insole recs?

    In my experience the 1/2 size larger advice is more applicable to hot weather. During your Camino the weather will not be hot.

    The culture has changed...sadly

    What an interesting question! Yes, the conversations have changed. Although I personally am all for transporting packs (luggage has no place on the Camino IMO), it seems like too many of us do this at the risk of missing out on a key element of walking the Camino. What I’m referring to is the...

    Help With Shoes for Over Pronation

    MERRELL hiking trail runners (not hiking shoes) have a wide toe bed with better support than Altras. Also, look up InStryde insoles.

    Fixing your feet

    I agree that the book, Fixing Your Feet is a great resource. Also, check out a new insole product, InStryde - it’s a game-changer for comfort and support.

    Rest days on the Camino Frances?

    I think it depends on how you feel, of course. I took one day and would not take one again unless I had an injury. I feel it’s better to take some shorter days to give your body some rest.

    Post-Camino Travel: A Mistake or a Blessing?

    This is a really great question. When my wife and I did our first Camino in 2016 (St Jean to Santiago) we spent 10 days traveling Spain afterwards. It was very weird. After spending 4 or 5 weeks in the Camino “bubble” we did not enjoy the tourist life as much as we thought. I suggest either...
