    Walking from Bayonne to SJPdP

    I think that is a sound plan. Buen camino Cliff, y buena suerte!

    Breaking in a new pair of shoes

    So, I did bring the stiff shoes I initially planned on (Salomon XA PR 3D ULTRA 2 GTX) and they worked okay, all in all. I got some blisters, which I guess is to be expected when you are walking 20-30 kms a day in 30 degrees Celsius, but nothing too bad. They were however warm (gore-tex), so...

    Walking from Bayonne to SJPdP

    I did not, in the end, walk from Bayonne to SJPdP so I cannot tell you if that part was crowded. Although, I can tell you that from SJPdP (I started the 1st of September) you can indeed expect the camino to be very crowded. It could be quite distractive and even stressful sometimes, what...

    Walking from Bayonne to SJPdP

    Thank you so much, kind people! I have a lot of planning to do then, since I'm going in 21 days. Jeez, I hadn't realized I leave in no more than 21 days. This is going to be good!

    Breaking in a new pair of shoes

    It's hard to put the stiffness in words, but they are stiff indeed. I cant remember ever trying on anything stiffer, except perhaps skiing boots.

    Breaking in a new pair of shoes

    I've basically been walking until I feel a hotspot appear, and then turn back home. And usually I don't get further than a couple of kilometers. I just bought some tape so I can walk further, I feel that should make the breaking in go faster.

    Breaking in a new pair of shoes

    Thanks for all the input! They are not boots, I think they would be classed as trailrunners. They're called Salomon XA PR 3D ULTRA 2 GTX. Wow, that's a mouthful. I have decided to give them one more week, with newly purchased socks for the occasion and if they still produce discomfort I will...

    Breaking in a new pair of shoes

    So, a while ago I bought these new pair of hiking shoes for my upcoming Camino Frances, and they seemed great in the store (really great judging by the massive price tag). However, my feet keep getting sore and keep developing blisters as I am out walking. I feel that I'm not supposed to need to...
