I also have a slightly narrow foot and have found Salomon trail runners work well for me with Wright socks, no blisters. MEC has the socks but I find SAIL has a better selection of shoes. I have walked numerous Caminos including the Portuguese twice from Lisbon and they were perfect every time.
I wear the exact same size, narrow width with left foot slightly larger. I’m currently on the Camino in Salomon Speed Cross size 9 and Wright socks. No blisters and very comfortable and durable. This is my second Camino in the same shoes/sock combo.
I wore the Speedcross my first Camino and had to replace them 500k into the walk when the mid sole collapsed. I’m not a heavy woman so not sure why this happened but replaced them with Merrill. Merrill Moab got me through two Portuguese Caminos and have purchased them for my next Camino...
Lined pants would probably be too heavy to dry quickly. I took a light merino wool base layer in case of cold however never used them. Walked in September 2015.
