Hi John,Jintray said:Hi
Can anyone give us advice on the route from Le Puy ? But I read that the paths in France are not so good. Are proper walking / moutaineering boots required, or are good walking shoes sufficient ? We would prefer the latter, if possible. Also, it seems that the route from Le Puy involves a lot of up and down. Are the days pretty tough ?

Kitsambler said:Ginn: regarding combat boots. The boots were originally specced for a combat infantryman's load (100 lbs or more), young man's strength, and military circumstances (comfort at the bottom of the list). I'm retired Navy, myself. Why not take advantage of the enormous improvements in boot engineering that are available now? Lightweight and comfortable, and you're carrying a much lighter load. Unless, of course, you're really into foot pain ...
