How do you use such a small pack?!?
I had the same size backpack as you for three Caminos. Things were not crammed in and I really paid attention to not "filling the void". Except for some people remarking on the size of my backpack, it suited me well. That said, for my next Camino this coming Fall, I have purchased an Osprey...- Sweetbaboo

How many pairs of shoes did you go through?
I have done 3 Caminos (one really short one in Portugal). I use one pair of Merrell shoes(new for each walk) and a pair of Birkenstocks (hanging around at the Albergues, taking in the town/city, etc). I do train with the new pair, maybe a 200 miles worth. For me this breaks in the shoe really...- Sweetbaboo
