I am 58 and starting the walk in Roncesvalles on the 29th May. I have been having a problem with pain just under the knee which happens about 1-2 hours into my walks. My physio suggested wearing compression tights, such as skins. Just wondering if anyone else has used these and how they went.

I've been thinking for a few years about trying these, but am baffled by all the choices/different varieties of SKINS. Can you recommend a particular type that has worked for you?I had compression stockings that he prescribed but instead bought SKINS which he approved. I totally loved walking in them... that was in 2016 and they are my walking trouser of choice even now.
At the time I did a bit of research and decided to go with the Skins brand. Use their size chart for your height and weight... they look small but I’ve never had a problem getting in to them. I think the last lot I bought were AS 400? They are the runners leggings. I also buy them on discount sites so I’ve never paid full price. Every year they have new science but I’m really happy with mine.I've been thinking for a few years about trying these, but am baffled by all the choices/different varieties of SKINS.

Thanks for adding this information, Josero. It's very helpful to know exactly what has worked (or not) for people.I really enjoyed compression calf sleeves. I tried the full socks but just didn’t like the tightness on my foot and the hassle of getting them on and off. On the calves, however, the comfort and lowered muscle fatigue was great. I used CEP and they have since got a couple of Caminos and still in great shape.
