Footware crisis - 8 months ago I decided I had to walk the Camino Frances.... hours and hours of research and days of shopping (I wasn't fit at all and was definitely not a regular hiker / walker) but had this need to set off mid May 2014. Living in Cape Town, South Africa, the choices available to us in terms of lightweight gear and great shoes has been a serious challenge - I'm 5ft11 with flippers for feet (one is a UK 8 1/2 the other a 8 and very broad, thanks mom) - so post hours of research and pilgrim workshops it becomes clear I need 1 1/2 size bigger than my normal size and 2 pairs of socks (a liner and a regular). Off I go shoe shopping - ladies shoes in SA are only available up to size 8 1/2 and narrow - so I try on men's shoes size 9 1/2 to 10's... trying them in the store isn't the same as taking them for a spin - I now have 7 pairs of shoes, from Salomon's, Merrells, Keens, New Balance - and finally... I thought I'd found the one...Merrell Moab Ventilators, they felt great in the store, I actually hugged the sales assistance - decided I needed to take them for a spin - 10km on Sunday, then another 8km (hills) yesterday - result, serious hot spots that were still throbbing this morning in 4 places. I have run out of shoe options - I leave in 2 months - have every item of my kit (total weight 6kg - 8% of body weight), imported Pacer Poles from the UK (dodgy knees), am swimming 25km and walking 35km a week and have taken 3 months off work to waddle the Camino my way... but at this point, have no shoes to walk in... any suggestions South African forum members? at this point I may need to do this in flip flops, the ones with bling on top

There are some brands of shoes that have a 'breathable' waterproof outer layer- not quite the same as Goretex. I never found one of these shoes that fitted my feet so can't comment on what they are like to walk in when it's hot.

Carla, I've been having similar experiences trying to find the right footwear for my upcoming Camino (you can read about some of my travails here http://sometimesshetravels.blogspot.com/2014/02/booting-boots.html). I suspect I will probably end up wearing a pair of my favorite trail running shoes (as suggested by Dutch in a previous post-if I could double like his comment, I would).
There's a great article about choosing the right hiking boots at http://www.patc.us/hiking/gear/boots.html. The most useful line in my opinion can be found at the bottom of the page where it says, "Put a little 'indoor distance' on the boots. If they still feel good, you've found a reasonably good boot for your foot. If they don't feel good, resist the temptation to keep them - take them back and keep looking." I took mine back.
... but at this point, have no shoes to walk in... any suggestions South African forum members? at this point I may need to do this in flip flops, the ones with bling on top
Today in precisely 2 months I set off - having everything sorted but my footwear made me panic a little...Guess I did rush out the gates with the new Merrells (even though I wore them around the home office for a couple of days) - in South Africa shoe brands like Salomon and Merrell only come in half sizes, so 8 1/2; 19 1/2 and 10 1/2 - perhaps being 1 1/2 sizes bigger than my normal size is a little much too - bought a pair of New Balance trial running shoes today, with the widest foot width they have and only one size bigger - will cut the socks down to one pair of coolmax and start with 5km on a flat and see how it goes - thanks for all your valuable input everyone.Wait a minute. You just bought these shoes and in two days you did 18 km? Slow down. Rushing only gets you hurt. Mellow. Build up slowly. Breath deeply.
Wait a few days and let your feet recover. Then start slow. Add a bit every day.

Wow, it is not often (i found) that someone agrees with me on the running shoe department. Or the socks, for that matter. Most pilgrims advocate for boots or special hiking shoes. Not me, not anymore. Not after my troubles. As a runner, i should have know better. I think.
I am even thinking about bringing an extra pair of shoes. Jsut have to decide first if my first pair will be my normal running shoes or my trail runners, which i love (almost) as much as my normal runners.
Two pairs might be a bit much, but not sure if betting on one horse is wise, again. On my relatively short upcomimg camino it might be a good way to see which ones i prefer, camino wise, for my longer camino in (probably) september.
Had a look at your blog. Did not read it all, but what i read, i liked. Some points you made were very familiar. Too familiar maybeI get why you feel the need to scratch that itch.
Oh, opinionwise. I kindle or any ereader is so much more relaxing for the eyes than an ipad. I brought my kobo glo with me (and iphone). On the other hand, your right, an ipad is more functional, if you have to choose between the two. If you like to read in bed also, when the light is turned off, be sure you have an ereader with a build in light, similar to the one i have. Works perfect. Or does yours have this as well? Every night, when everyone went to sleep at around 2200 hours and the light got turned off, there was always one very small spark of light coming from the pillow end of one of the bunkbed. This was me, reading
Thanks also for your perspectives on the eReaders. I'm pretty certain I am going to purchase and take an iPad Mini (331 grams-funny how I cognizant I am of weight these days) that I can use for blogging and reading. Is it kosher to read in bed while others are sleeping? I figured I will read in common areas (or under my covers).
I walk myself on Salomons trail runners which are fine for me. But last year my wife walked about 800km of Camino on running shoes which she bought in a Spanish store on the way, they were perfect! It triples your idea about running shoes.Wow, it is not often (i found) that someone agrees with me on the running shoe department.
Carla Hola - I think you still need to discuss your feet with a professional. I had problems last May on the Camino and have now seen a Podiatrist who has made me up a special pair of orthotics that have improved the way my feet/soles spread the load. Buen Camino.Today in precisely 2 months I set off - having everything sorted but my footwear made me panic a little...Guess I did rush out the gates with the new Merrells (even though I wore them around the home office for a couple of days) - .
Nothing beats a good Scarpa leather boot. You may pay a bit more for them but they are worth every cent.
I agree with you Annie. Boots to me are overkill also. I walked in Sept/Oct '12 in Asics Kayano 18 trail shoes. I sprayed with them with a water repellent before I went. I had 3 days of rain just before Santiago. Only the last day of extremely hard rain for hours did my feet get wet. I never slipped or fell in the mud.New Balance Walkers or New Balance Trail Shoes.
Wear them out of the store and right onto the Camino.
Buy them one size too large and try them on with your wool socks and liners.
Buy a gel insert and replace the regular insert with it.
They have a HUGE toe box, with plenty of room for swelling feet.
I've worn them on every walk ...
Boots, to me, are overkill.
I like Keen boots. They are great!Hello all, just returned from a walk and wanted to vent (wishing my shoes would do the same).
Bought a "good" pair of Merrell moabs gortex hiking shoes only to find out my feet get too hot. I always wear two pair of socks and have moved down to the lightest pairs but still there's a furnace in my shoes. Sucks. Need to look for something new. Any suggestions?
I'm going to walk Camino Frances in Sept so I still have time to break in something new and "airy".
Thanks
Good Scarpa leather boots caused me excruciating internal foot pain. My feet are not suited to them. I need shoes that flex. To each his own.Nothing beats a good Scarpa leather boot. You may pay a bit more for them but they are worth every cent.

And I was beginning to think it was only me who had the hot feet problem.
I wear light Asics runners. Lots of ventilation.
'Light' and 'lots of ventilation' would really float my boat
I'll try some for the fit

I need a wider shoe in the toe box area also. Take a look at the Asics Gel Scram trail running shoes. Mine weigh 5 oz. less than my pair of Merrell Phoenix and, using the axiom of 1 lb. on the foot equals 5 lb. on the back, that's the equivalent of not carrying 1.5 lbs. I've worn them while wading streams and they dry quickly.Will be looking at the New Balance shoes I think with the larger widths in the toe box area as seen in previous posting.
Start by buying boots that fit the shape of your foot instead of beginning damage control before you've even started. 2 pairs of socks!?!? Buying boots one or sizes too big!?!?! Really, some of what people here have written here is absurd. Thin running socks combined with boots that fit are all that is needed. No blisters, NEVER. Heavy rain? Goretex and leather. Good weather? Mesh and goretex. If your foot suits a Salomon you can't go wrong.

Every feet/person it's different. Some things work, some don't. The problem of all this is that you have to spend money, sometimes without having possibility of getting it back, to understand what works with you.

I purchase my shoes at REI, which has a 100% satisfaction guaranteed policy. Anything can be returned within one year. When I told the sales people about my concerns, they told me to get outside, try the boots in all kinds of terrain and weather and if they don't fit, return them! I'm pretty sure that policy applies even on international order (http://www.rei.com/help/placing-international-orders.html).
That's exactly my point. Buy boots that fit the shape of your foot instead of listening to other people's opinions of what's good and what isn't. A Lowe Renegade GTX for example doesn't comply with the wishes of my feet, but some people swear by them... and then others run out and buy them based on mere speculation (this is a general comment and not directed at any particular one post). It is obviously better to make an intelligent purchasing decision at the beginning. Why anyone would start a Camino without doing any research into footwear and at least trying them out first I can't understand. If for instance the boots turn out to be uncomfortable after a couple of days (usually its the other way round), then OK, damage control is obviously required and maybe wearing 2 pairs of socks is a short-term solution to the problem (although this should have already been identified as a problem in training / wearing in sessions). Preparation and forethought go a long way, as once you're out there (as you know) its sometimes difficult to remedy such a problem. "Be prepared" is what they taught me in scouts many years ago and I still adhere to this sound advice.
Buen Camino.
I've had the same experience with almost all my running shoes. In fact, I am going to return the Merrell Siren short-collared hiking boot that rubs my baby toes raw, get a new pair of the Adidas running shoes I've used for years with no problems, and take those.Yes, breaking in new shoes is always good, but not always a must. I bought new running shoes in Astorga and started wearing them from that day on. I have had no troubles at all with these "not broken in" shoes. They were an instant succes for my feet. Like a match made in camino heaven.
Further more i buy new running shoes about every 4 months and always start running long distances in them from day one. Never have any troubles with any of my new "not broken in yet" shoes.
That makes sense, Diogo. I didn't think about the added expense of the overseas shipping.Buying from REI, it's good if you live in the U.S., if you buy it in Europe it's going to cost you a lot of more money, because of the shipping costs, and the bonus of the costumes fee. For example, in Portugal, anything above 20€ that comes out from the European Union Trade Zone, must pass via costumes, and pay extra 23% of VAT over the value of the product that you already paid. And sometimes, the product never gets out from costumes. Weird thing, I call it...
Plus, returning it via UPS it’s also expensive. Another thing is that you should try the things in store, and get some advice from the sellers. They must have a "know how" about the products that they are selling, and they can help you with that. Buying it online it's a risk. I've never had any problems with buying footwear online, but only because I already know what kind of shoe/boot I can buy.
Spot on my friend
So, running shoes will be adequate to walk the camino? I have tried multiple pairs of hiking shoes/boots but they just do not provide the same support in the specific areas I need. My Brooks running shoes feel great.

I must be shouting in the dark! NEW BALANCE! I never turned my ankle ONCE. Your'e not running the Camino, you're walking it!

Hello --- this query worries me! I just purchased Gortex Merrell'. I've done two good walks in them (12 and 13km) and there may not be enough cushioning. I am training on Vancouver Island and Calgary, so perhaps similar terrain to the Norwegian pilgrim who previously replied. I won't train in serious heat until this summer, which will be too late to break anything in before I head out Sept. lst. I will definitely try the New Balance. How have you found them since your post? Has a difference in socks made a difference?Hello all, just returned from a walk and wanted to vent (wishing my shoes would do the same).

I would caution making this blanket statement. Running shoes may be good for someone who has trained and has strong ankles, feet, and good balance. But I would be hard pressed to say that a poorly trained peregrino would not be safer with a bit more lateral support and a more stable sole.So, running shoes will be adequate to walk the camino?

I've been checking out the Injinis at REI after seeing some other people's comments about them. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.Sounds like a good plan to me
I am now trying out new socks. The Injini toesocks. First day of running, so far, so good and they are very light, but a bit of a hassle to put on ( and you look silly without shoes).
If i like 'm enough, im gonna bring 'm.
I'm a guy with Kermit-style wide and big feet. I feel totally deprived of the fervor of shoe shopping women feel (ok a lot feel), since my choices are so limited.

I think we'll take your advice and air our feet. Although I bought a larger size, I don't think they'll be large enough. I'll also buy a pair of trainers… and see how that goes. Thanks!I walked the Portuguese in August-September and for all my preparation and all the advice I took from this forum on footwear, socks and blisters I wasn't completely ready for what the heat caused. I had goretex walking shoes and two socks; a thin wicking liner and an thicker outer. I blistered on the 4th day because my feet swelled in the heat.
Once I realised what was happening I started slipping off my shoes every time I took a break. That made all the difference for me. Not only did it allow the build up of moisture to evaporate, but the evaporation cooled my feet. At times it was like an ice bath! I still remember it as one of the great joys of each day
cheers,
Phil.

Me too! I love REI. I am now trying a couple pairs of trail runners. I am hoping one of them will be a winner. It has been a huge relief to know that hiking shoes are not a must.

I just recently road (treadmill tested) theHey Erin
I have done two Caminos in Brooks Addiction. I have used both mesh and the leather version. Both were great ...but I preferred the leather for more lateral support.
Running/walking shoes worked for me more so than the traditional hiking shoe/boot.
I would only suggest that with whatever Brooks you use that you test them on all surfaces before you go. E.g tarseal....fine gravel...chunky gravel. ..uneven surfaces (tree roots..rocky terrain). Just to make sure they will give you the support and cushioning you will need for day upon day walking.

My advice is not to care about preventing your feet from getting wet---sooner or later, they will. Instead, focus on moisture management. How quickly can you dry out the shoes once wet and while walking? Also, it is rather trivial to overwhelm a waterproof, breathable membrane with excessive sweat and thereby render it completely nonfunctional.The problem being, feet get hot, feet get wet with perspiration, feet swell and get blisters. Having extra wide feet is also a problem as extra room in the toe box is needed. Will be looking at the New Balance shoes I think with the larger widths in the toe box area as seen in previous posting.
Just my 2 cents ... for those who really need a good ankle support perhaps Meindl Dessert Fox might be an option. My choice for walking light trails in summer heat is Ecco Cerro sandals.
Tried them. Didn't like the feel, but thought I'd push past that. Got tiny little blisters between the toes while training and simply decided to ditch them.I've been checking out the Injinis at REI after seeing some other people's comments about them. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
I have a pair of Desert Fox boots I got cheap as military surplus. I found them very tough on the heels, lots of blistering. I know everyone is different. They are very hard wearing boots but on mine there's a ridge that sits at the right level to rub. Very supportive for load carrying but just not comfortable for long treks.
The stability of NB is really their strong point. And they have a wide toe which cuts down on blisters. Everyone has their favorite but before you decide you really ought to give them a trial run.Walking in Texas in Merrell waterproof. I think they're non gortex and they seem fine. I think I would have just preferred my usual New Balance walking shoes though.
I've been training in Brooks Cascadia 8's and love them. They are roomy in the toe box and feel like slippers coming straight out of the box. Waiting for the UPS truck to deliver my second pair which I will use on the Camino this September after I give them a quick break in. Will continue to train in the ones I have now which currently consists of two longish (9 to ll) mile walks weekly plus 4 more days of 3 to 6 miles with 2/3 days at the gym. Will start with longer (12 plus) miles next week adding more ups and downs and getting that pack on my back. Couldn't be happier with these trail runners. No blisters or hot spots so far. Feel so much better than even a light low hiker like the Merrrill Moab which my husband is wearing. I'm a happy camper(walker).I feel the same way, Erin. I'm also trying out Brooks trail running shoes right now. (Can't remember whether they're Cascadia's or not). These I got from a local running store though so won't be able to return them once I wear them outside.
*Footnote: ended up with the Brooks Cascadia 9 from REI.
Hi, As I see there is many earlier replies but it turns out that somebody else had the same problem as me. One year I bought the Merell "good shoes" and I suffered all the way.

Therefore I complettely don't know what shoes wear this year. I think it any problem with my feet , not with shoes...Hello all, just returned from a walk and wanted to vent (wishing my shoes would do the same).
