Useful link, thanks. Our boots look as though they are just a little deeper and they are waterproofed leather; Hi-Tec made in the UK.grayland said:I am not ever sure just what type of shoes people are talking about when they say "boots"
Here is the women's version of the shoe I wear now on the Camino: (Keen Targhee)

There are other great brands...but this is the basic type shoe I see most people wearing.
They weight twice what Crocs do. I have used both and prefer the Crocs. Teva would be a bit better for actual hiking if it comes to that. I would sit down a couple of days before I would hike in either!!! My brother has hiked in both...I'll get some Teva sandals.
k-fun said:I recommend you go by the feel of the shoe and not the size. I bought men's shoes because they are wider than women's shoes and wore them around for months. I bought them 1/2 size larger and carried thick, medium and light socks to accommodate the extra space and potential growth. Even so, about the 3-4th week on the Camino, my feet had grown so much in length and in width that my toes felt squished even with the lightest sock. I was starting to get blisters and my toes were crammed enough to cause an ingrown toe nail problem. I ended up walking the last part of the trip in hiking sandals.
I saw a lot of people with painful feet. I wish you well in your search for the ideal shoe.

Today I worn them all day except when I was out and at the end of the afternoon wore them to find two hot spots: one on my bunion and one on the top of my big toe on the same foot.

We take Crocs for wearing indoors and a change of footwear when needed
I wonder how many St. James had?I would advise just taking your walking shoes/boots that you decide on and a pair of shoes for afternoon/night after walking. Many people take tevas or other sandals that they can also walk in...or just something like crocs to walk around town and the albergue. They are great to shower in. Two pair of walking shoes/boots would, in my opinion, be over the top.
