Hi
I use the old fashioned pedals and did a 100km bike ride along the coast in the weekend wearing a pair of Crocs. My feet were comfortable the whole way, didn't slip and it was great to be able to slip them off and paddle in the sea when I wanted a break. As I won't be going fast or probably long distances on the Camino (and this was the first time I've worn crocs cycling) I was wondering if other people have done the Camino in crocs or whether there would be a reason not to do it in crocs. This way I could just take one pair of shoes.
I tested them out as had read that people recommend taking a pair to wear in the evenings and in the showers. I have never liked crocs but after my husband bought me a pair recently I started wearing them in the garden and they are really comfortable. They look terrible as I have big feet anyway - but I'm not planning on being a fashion statement on the ride anyway.
Cheers,
Rachael
