Really? Even up along the coast? That would be so sweet if I could avoid rain but…I don't think you will need them this time of year.
I wore hiking sandals the last time I was on the Norte, and will do so again this year for my May/June Norte/Primitivo Camino. I bring a pair of waterproof socks that pair well with my sandals for really wet days.Many people wear trailrunners, nongortex, especially in summer. Some people wear hiking sandals even.
They’re certainly not necessary; but in late Autumn through to early spring - I do. Partly it’s habit; as it’s my usual UK walking attire; but also it helps keep my calves warmer. I’m fairly certain that my historic plantar fasciitis was partially exacerbated by stiffness in the calf and Achilles.I'm sure some do, but I've never seen a pilgrim wearing gaiters.
It could be a good look. Distinguished...They’re certainly not necessary; but in late Autumn through to early spring - I do.

This should help me recognise you on the way.They’re certainly not necessary; but in late Autumn through to early spring - I do.

I’ll not share a photograph so as to not disturb those of a nervous disposition; as described elsewhere they’re accompanied by a venerable pair of Ron Hill tracksters sufficiently snug that you could probably deduce my religion. Sorry.It could be a good look. Distinguished...

I wear Dirty Girl brand gaiters every day to keep rocks etc out of my shoes. They kept my shoes a little drier in the rain, but not their primary purpose.Hi! I am walking the Northern route in May and I’m wondering if I should bring gaiters to keep inside of boot dry. Also where can I find small? For women? So far the ankle part just doesn’t close tight enough. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get lucky and have a month of blue skies!! Hahaha!!
Ok. Thanks. I was concerned about rain seeping into my boots. I’ll check those out.I wear Dirty Girl brand gaiters every day to keep rocks etc out of my shoes. They kept my shoes a little drier in the rain, but not their primary purpose.
I used Dirty Girl gaiters with my Altra Olympus and they helped to keep sand, dirt, and little pebbles out of my shoes.My husband wore short gaiters on our Camino Frances, I didn't. He was never troubled with small stones or grit in his boots but I was. Next time I'll definitely have some - possibly Dirty Girl gaiters.
me too..for stones they are great...my stride kicks them up.I wear Dirty Girl brand gaiters every day to keep rocks etc out of my shoes. They kept my shoes a little drier in the rain, but not their primary purpose.
