- Time of past OR future Camino
- CF 2013, CF from Lourdes 2015, CP Porto 2022
After months of comfortably and confidently breaking in the boots I planned to use on the Camino, they totally let me down on Wednesday. By the end of the day, which included a routine 11.5 Km uphill walk, several toes of my right foot were a little sore. Today, there's definitely a problem.
I think the sudden warm weather, "winter-weight" boots, and hiking socks and sock liners added up to that foot increasing in size too much for that shoe. Alas, a toenail is on the way out, I fear. Now, I have to let my foot recover so I can walk again without causing more injury AND get a new pair of boots. With less than a month to go!
I had been toying with the idea of getting Merrell Moab Ventilators (I need a men's shoe because my feet are too wide for women's) if I could come up with the money but now I think there is no more second-guessing myself.
And I have to order them on-line.
Any words of encouragement???
