    Shoe problem

    Nice, I will try some of these out. Thanks :)

    Shoe problem

    Thanks for sharing this. I ordered a magnesium supplement with a blend of 5 different types of magnesium. So hopefully it won't cause too much of a laxative effect.

    Shoe problem

    Yeah, that's true. I have been looking for some liner socks for a while, but couldn't find them in any sporting goods store over here. Any idea if they sell them along the Camino?

    Shoe problem

    Thanks, will get some magnesium and see if this helps. By ankle exercises, do you mean strengthening the calves?

    Shoe problem

    That's great advice, thanks! I will definitely try out these stretches. Also thinking of bringing a massage ball to loosen up soles and calves. About the walking poles, I'm debating if I want to bring them or not. Why would you say you spend up to 20 % more energy using them?

    Shoe problem

    This is great to know. I got some new Salomon trail runners yesterday. Very light weight and comfortable shoes. I'm glad your shoes are working out so well. Buen Camino!

    This is great advice, thanks! :)

    Shoe problem

    Thank you very much! I ended getting Salomon trail runners in goretex. Hoping I don't need to break them in much, as I start the camino in one week.

    Shoe problem

    I will try and stretch more during my walks, and after I finish. Sounds like that could help a lot.

    Shoe problem

    Couldn't find them in the right size, unfortunately. But for my next Camino, I will definitely try them out!
  11. taustad

    Shoe problem

    Yeah, I will definitely take some breaks during the walk to stretch and take care of the feet. Hoping that will help.

    Shoe problem

    Great advice, thanks! I've got some new trail runners now, with a lot more flexibility. Will test them out today to see how they feel after 20-25 kms. But will definitely ditch the hiking boots now.

    Shoe problem

    That's great! I went to a store yesterday. Tried some Hokas, but couldn't find the right size. Ended up getting some Salomon track runners. Light weight and fits perfect on the foot. So I think I will stick with those, and get some sandals or flip flops as my second pair.

    Shoe problem

    Thanks for the advice! I went and got some new Salomon track runners yesterday. They feel a lot more comfortable for walking long distances. Will try them out today for a 25k walk with full equipment. I don't believe they had any drop, so I guess I don't need to walk them in much.

    Shoe problem

    Thanks, this is good advice. I went to a shoe store yesterday and got some new Salomon track runners. They felt nearly perfect on the foot. So now I have two pairs, and also an extra pair of orthopedic soles. So I'm feeling a lot more confident about it now.

    Shoe problem

    I tried some Hoka sneakers, but unfortunately couldn't find the right size. They definitely have a lot more cushion than I'm used to!

    Shoe problem

    Thanks, I will have a look. I may not have time to order them and get them delivered to Norway in time. But I will check if I can find something similar over here.
  18. taustad

    Shoe problem

    Great, I'm glad it's not too late to get some new ones. I will stop by a sports store today and try on some different types of shoes. Are there any specific ones you'd recommend?
  19. taustad

    Shoe problem

    Great advice, thanks :) do you have any specific trail runners you'd recommend? and do you always bring a second pair with you?
  20. taustad

    Shoe problem

    Ok, I see. I have not tried those, but I will try and stop by a sports store today and try some new soles. Thanks for the advice :) I might even get a second pair of trail runners if they still don't feel right. I bought them a couple of years back, have been walking in em probably over 500 km...
