I've leaving in a little more than a week for the Frances, which I walked in boots in 2015, at the age of 73. This walk will be a mini Camino of only 9 days walking with my daughter, from St. Jean. I wear Hokas regularly at home and love them. I have wide "troubled" feet (crossed toe and huge...

Thank you for your good suggestions. I have the Michelin guide you mention, although I haven't yet had a chance to get familiar with it. I've also ordered the Miam Miam Dodo, which so many pilgrims recommend. I haven't thought about taking short steps on ascents, but I'm sure that's exactly what...
