    Water shoes instead of sandals?

    I tested my Xero water shoes with insoles (I have Morton's Neuromas in both feet) on a two mile walk and they were very comfortable. With the insoles they are a tad heavier than the classic Crocs I usually take, but they take up less room in the backpack. I would not walk any real distance in...

    Water shoes instead of sandals?

    I've been pondering the same thing. I've always taken Crocs for the evenings because they are very light, I can wear them with socks, and they have some support so I'm not damaging my feet while I'm resting. Last summer I bought a pair of Xero Aqua X for a kayak camping trip and they were...

    Sleeping mats

    I have a Nemo tensor ultralight short mummy for backpacking that I’m happy with. I concur that there is no need for it on the Camino. A guy I was walking with carried a full size pad all the way to León, never once using it.

    Carabiners or “S” hook?

    If I’m short on space I’ll hang my crocs from my backpack and I always have a place on my backpack to hang my hat since I don’t wear it unless I need it. I think s hooks are easier than carabiners because one side stays attached while you manipulate the other. It helps to get to know people...

    Recommended men's trousers please

    Maybe too much cotton for your liking, but I concur in the three votes above for Kuhl. I'm pretty particular with hiking/camping pants and I've been very happy with the comfort, utility and look of both Kuhl shorts and full length trousers (I haven't tried their zip offs). Even straight out of...

    Footwear from O Cebreiro to Santiago

    I haven't walked southern Galicia like you have but I'm assuming you'll find eastern Galicia to be similar walking. Like the others said - stick with what you know works for you! Here's an unsolicited piece of information - if you are climbing as you leave O Cebreiro, you are on a piece of...

    Walking Poles on the Primitivo. Yes or No.

    In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy the answer was 42.

    Struggling with sock choice

    I cannot wear wool, smart wool, virgin wool, merino wool etc. Everyone tells me how great wool is and I am just not using the right kind of wool but please believe me, I can't wear wool. So I wear double layer Wright Socks and I have been very happy with them. I've been very lucky but with...

    Meseta sandals?

    Below is pretty much all you'll see if you take the Roman road between Calzadilla de Los Hermanos and Reliegos. At first it seemed like a marvel of ancient engineering, but after 17km of the same road (and more or less the same view) I was glad to have nice trail runners. Even better soles would...

    Join the quest for the perfect panel loading camino pack?

    Somebody mentioned the REI Trail 40 panel loader. I have this REI Trail 30 which is great in summer when I just take a mummy liner. It's a little heavy but everything is right where I want it and the hip belt and side pockets are great! (I don't hang my shoes anymore but that was my thing a...

    Flying with poles in carryon.

    I just did a search on here for "flying with poles" and find this conversation going on today - what a coincidence and what a great forum! I've checked my backpack in the past but I'm not doing that this time. I leave for Leon next week and I really don't want to lose my poles since O'Cebreiro...
