"Fixing Your Feet," by John Vonhof

Not strictly about the Camino, but a really good book about self care of the feet for runners and long- distance hikers. The author is an expert on topics of interest to us, like shoes, socks, and blister prevention/care. Highly recommended.

Agreed! Changed my life, after too many blisters on Camino #1. Camino #2, using Vonhof's advice? 1 blister, and that was because my foot got wet when I misjudged a rut and went into a puddle. Paper tape and Body Glide are always in my pack!

Thanks for the tip, I just ordered the book. I have to manage my feet and I believe this book will improve this effort

Thanks for the recommendation. They have the book at our local library and I've put it on hold.
