Sun Sleeves?
I love mine. Got them at REI, also available at their website. They have a thumb hole to keep them in place and go up past the biceps/triceps. They stay in place, no problem. Not too hot. The palms got discolored, mainly from gripping my trekking poles, but no effect on function. I washed them...- BrianLCrabtree

Waterproof footwear - pros and cons
I bought two pairs of Sealskinz waterproof socks that I have been using on remote mountain trails that require creek crossings. If the water level is above the top of the socks, which is common, the water gets in anyway, so they haven't been more useful to me than regular hiking socks. I also...- BrianLCrabtree

Apple Air Tag

How many pairs of shoes did you go through?
Anybody do more than Spain? My current thinking is to start in Vezelay, so I would be only halfway when I get to Spain. That would somewhere around 1,800 km, in round numbers. Still think a single pair would do it, or be on the safe side and search for a new pair in SJPP?- BrianLCrabtree

How many pairs of shoes did you go through?
I do need to break in running shoes a bit and I have found the same to be true with my Salomon GTX. I rubbed a blister in them after the first couple of hikes, but they're fine now. I've got about 360 km on them so they have plenty of wear remaining. I recently bought a pair of Salomon...- BrianLCrabtree

How many pairs of shoes did you go through?
Did you walk your entire Camino in the same pair of shoes? I generally get about 500 km or so from a pair of running shoes. Should I expect the same from the shoes I use on the Camino? If you bought new shoes along the way, did you have problems with a break-in period? I'm planning for 2023...- BrianLCrabtree
