    Favourite Socks

    On my 2022 Camino, I had a blister after day 2 while wearing my darn tough socks & and using vaseline, just as I had for my training. Switched to only injinji toe socks and vaseline.

    Altra Timp 4 trail running shoes or Lone Peak All weather

    On my Camino in May-June 2023, I wore the Altra Torin Luxe 5, also a quick-drying mesh. A great choice for me - happy feet, just 1 small blister, and they dried quickly.

    Camino Frances in March. Warm clothes

    Hi jjev, while I have not walked in March, I have gone thru the angst of planning for a cold weather Camino. I wore a long sleeve tech shirt, a fleece hoodie, and a waterproof windbreaker. That combo worked fine for me. Buen Camino!

    Newbie looking for sock information

    On my recent Camino, I started in smart wool - blisters after just one day. Switched to the one pair of Injinji socks I had with me - wore them everyday for the next 5 weeks, washing them each evening. Prior to Camino, tried Fit brand socks. They did not hold up well. Buen Camino!

    Injinji socks

    I wore only Injinji from day 3 onward during my recent Camino. They worked well for me. I started with smart wool socks and had 2 blisters by the 3rd day, so switched to Injinji. I did not wear another sock over them. I used the cool max version. No recurrence of blisters. I'm sold on Injinji!

    Socks nightmare, please help!

    I wore the smart wool PhD socks and did not get blisters. But I tried several brands and combinations before settling on the PhD brand. As Falcon said above, make sure you have tried out socks well ahead of leaving for the Camino. From a physical standpoint, I think the most important thing in...
