Topo Terradventures are sooo comfortable on a number of levels. They do have a tendency to fray after a while around the top where your foot goes in and out so look a bit scruffy, but then, you’ve worked hard! However they are my number 2 choice when walking. I cannot fault Teva hurricane xlt2...
Whilst I always walk in Teva sandals, perfect for wide feet, my back up is either Topos or Altra. Both are sooo comfortable with amazing grip.
I walked Le Puy to Muxia in New Balance. Very comfortable but dangerous as had no grip whatsoever. IMO good grip should be added as an essential element...
I haven't used my Armaskins on a Camino yet, I wish.... but I have worn them to test them. I have never had blisters with Injinji 5 toe socks so I can make a fair comparison. So far, I love the Armaskins. I was very wary of the feel and snug fit, but they were so comfortable I was never aware of...
I wore Sealskinz with Teva Toachi sandals through the deluge in France this year. Even in weather most foul, the injinji liners were completely dry under the Sealskinz. And, FYI, even on the hottest, sweatiest day..... Wouldn’t walk without them......
This looks fantastic. At AUD5 it's cheaper than cling wrap or airport wrapping, and it's very light. You can even carry it on your back. Easy to pick on the carousel too.
Have just sourced what looks like 2 great umbrella/ sunshades (teleScope and Swing) which attach to most backpacks.
Email danilo.rahn@birdiepal.com for advice on shipping, depending where you live. Neither is available in Australia so will have to be shipped from the US.
