    What does "good shoes" mean?

    I used merrells, no blisters but tendinitis. Next time I chose shoe with more cushioning but still good grip, hoka speedgoats. No blisters but found them a bit unsupportive. Next time I’m wearing la sportiva. I’ve got them already. A more structured shoe, plenty support plus great grip. Hard...

    Packing shake down requested - Camino Frances - Oct/Nov

    I agree with others, you can lose a pair of pants, a long sleeve top, and possibly the cashmere. Surely the puffy jacket will cover you for warmth. I also think don't take the water bladder, you can buy a hose that fits into an ordinary drink bottle on amazon if you like to keep sipping...

    Help with shoes!

    I have orthotics and these la sportiva ultra raptor wide work with them. I’ve been wearing the boot version for years and excited to use the shoe version when I go to the 88 temple pilgrimage in Japan in October! 😊

    Down jacket or No?

    I didn’t have a fleece just two long sleeve icebreaker merino plus two short sleeve icebreaker merino. My puffer is way lighter than any fleece I could have taken. I was happy with what I took. Are you going soon? Exciting.

    Help with shoes!

    I wore Merrells on first Camino. Whilst comfy to walk in I got Tendinitis in feet. I swore I’m going for way more cushioning next Camino. So next Camino, I wore hoka speedgoats for cushioning. Much better but a bit less support. I think I can improve my choice. Next time I will get a shoe...

    Down jacket or No?

    I am SO glad I took it. Wore it a lot.we started in Burgos and mornings were 2 degrees. All across the meseta i wore it most of the day. I mean, walked in it, didn’t take it off. If we’d walked the previous week we would have been in a heatwave. 😊💃

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    I have walked starting from SJPP starting 1 Sep. Also I walked in May this year. I suggest you can get away with 1 hiking pants, 1 shorts, 1 long sleeve shirt and 2 t shirts. Also remember to weigh your pack without the clothes you’re going to be wearing. If still too heavy. Use a...

    Down jacket or No?

    Thank you! I’m thinking my layers will be exactly same as yours. Are the gloves Icebreaker?

    Down jacket or No?

    It fits under the rain jacket. It’s lightweight. Thinking I’ll bring it. I’ll ditch the kindle before the puffy if my pack weight a concern! 6 weeks to go and will get onto final decisions soon.

    Down jacket or No?

    If it’s torrential rain Id probably walk in other layers. Keeping the down jacket dry for putting on after shower. That’s my current thinking.
