    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    I left home from home and that was about 2500 km away. To be honest, I didn't always wear them because there was 80% asphalt in France. This year I will do the CF and will do it with the altra lone peak.

    Questions to ask about shoes

    I love the vivobarefoot forest esc boots, they are minimalist, zero drop and wide toe box. Blisters are excluded along with injinji stockings. They are also very flexible which makes walking very pleasant.

    What does "good shoes" mean?

    After the mental aspects, good shoes are probably the most important thing for the Camino. The problem is that this is so personal that you will read hundreds of opinions about it, so the message is to test it yourself as you are doing.

    I've walked the Camino in barefoot shoes

    Most lovers of minimalist shoes, including me, only started wearing those shoes at a later age. If we had walked barefoot from birth, our feet would be used to walking barefoot. It is therefore a matter of compromise at a later age.

    I've walked the Camino in barefoot shoes

    I have been walking with minimalist shoes for 15 years. FiveFingers, Vivobarefoot, Lems, Joe Nimble and I don't wear anything else. If you step into FiveFingers barefoot, the stench is indeed not hard to cure, so I wear Injinji socks. The contact with Earth is simply great. Thank you for sharing...
