    Shoes camino primitivo

    Hi there, I am planning on my first camino and I am choosing Primitivo. Going in the middle or the end of May. I tried on many shoes and decided that trail runners should be OK.

    Dressy comfortable town shoes!

    ...so right up front: I’m not the most experienced person here and completely acknowledge that. I am Catholic and while deciding on a pair of town shoes, I decided I wanted something that would look nice for church. Yes I know God loves me just as much in crocs, but I felt my own compulsion to...

    Previous year I used Asics Trabuco Max 2 on journey Porto-Santiago-Fisterra(including preparation for this journey). This year I plan to make Camino Frances(SJPP-Santiago). Can I use my (previous year bought) Asics shoe for Camino Frances or it is better to buy the new one?

    Hello, I will be doing El Camino from Sarria to Santiago this May 13 for the first time. I tend to twist my ankles in uneven surfaces and to easily slip on slippery surfaces.

    Shoes for the Salvador

    Hi! I saw that you wrote about the San Salvador awhile back. I’ll be walking that stretch in June and then onto the Primitivo for the second time. My Altra trail runners did fine on the Primitivo, but I’m wondering if I’d be better off with my Oboz boots for the San Salvador? Any advice you can...

    Best shoes for Camino Ingles?

    Hi Pilgrims! I'm planning to walk the Camino Ingles in late May. From what I've read, the majority of the walking takes place on asphalt. I've completed the Camino Frances (from Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela) and the Camino Portugues from Porto to Santiago and wore boots on both (somewhat...

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

    ...and am fairly confident I could use them, though as a big guy (250 lbs with pack) I like the plushness of the Olympus. I’m also considering the Via Olympus, but I worry they won’t hold up as they aren’t really trail shoes. Any other recommendations for plush, wide toe box, zero-drop type shoes?

    Reviews: Stiff rocker-style shoes that come in women's extra wide

    ...the footwear is for that person, and the only way to find out is to wear it for a few hundred km. With that disclaimer, I'll comment on some shoes I have tried for my very specific needs. Let's keep this thread on the specific topic of the subject line. If you want to recommend random other...

    Questions to ask about shoes

    ...in March, from Lisbon to Coimbra. I've decided to go for a shoe fitting appointment at Ellis & Bringham (UK) as I know nothing about proper shoes (I've been using leather hiking boots from Mountain Warehouse for the last 6 years to do day walks around the UK if that gives you an indication of...

    Morton’s Neuroma shoe choice

    ...daily life they don’t bother me, but during a practice walk last weekend my forefeet started hurting at about 8km’s. I already bought big, wide shoes (Inov-8 Rocfly 350), but unfortunately they didn’t keep the pain away. Hopefully I can see a podotherapist soon, and look into orthotics. In...
