    Blisters - Is it too late to change boots?

    Wear wide running shoes. No need for boots. Merrell makes a wide, waterproof low cut if you feel you need a waterproof shoe.

    Is KT Tape available along the SF route?

    I bought some at Decathalon in Burgos. In Portugal, I bought a brand called Mueller and it stuck much better than the KT brand I'd been using. I'd say bring two rolls if you're doing the CF.

    First Camino Gear Questions (Hoka One One, Socks, Pacer Poles, Sea to Summit Spark SPII)

    Sandals can never be worn with socks.

    Sock liners?

    I agree. I've tested both the Injinji light and midweight wool toe socks by themselves and I prefer their "crew liner" under a normal light wool sock. Like walking on a cloud!

    Sock liners?

    In Hawaii, we call those shoe gloves "Shoves". (Rhymes with gloves)

    Sock liners?

    Only if you don't want your feet to hurt.

    Sock liners?

    Lots of vendors on eBay that will ship to you!

    Sock liners?

    Check out the Injinji toe sock liners. http://www.injinji.com/shop/liner/liner-crew.html I think they're the holy grail of blister prevention.

    Footwear

    Hoka's. Mid rise, light as shoes, soft as butter. I hike in them year round. REI web site.
