    Shoes camino primitivo

    Wool is the answer to so many questions regarding feet in this forum. It puzzles me that not more people pick up on this and start wearing woollen socks.

    Is this equipment ok?

    Buy wool socks. Buy wool t-shirts. You will never regret it. That is all.

    Agree, I used my own sleeping bag all over the Camino Frances i 2018.

    I second that.

    Trail runners on the Norte

    I used my Salomon Speedcross 3 on the Frances, and then another 300 km after.
