Newbie member here...walking my first Camino with my wife in mid-September this year.
I'm wondering how many kilometers a typical pair of hiking shoes can take before they start suffering from wear? We've started our training and have completed a couple 25 km walks already (shorter ones too). I suspect we'll ramp up our training even more as we approach our "launch" date. By then, it may well be the shoes will have 400+ km logged on them just in training. Should we be considering getting a 2nd pair that we would ultimately use when we start the Camino - ones that would have < 100 km logged on them?
Thanks.
Apparently a pair of Merrell Moab GTX boots can last about 1,200 miles or 1,900 kilometres. If you get maximum distance (reports of these distances achieved on the Appalachian route in America) you should be able to do the Camino Frances twice.Newbie member here...walking my first Camino with my wife in mid-September this year.

I use Brasher Traveller, I have clocked up about 1500km so far, a little wear but still good. They are a Hybrid Town/walking mid boot.
I have been told that Brasher are now using a new manufacturer and that their new line is not as good as the old ones.
I've done 2 caminos in my Vasque boots, 1400 km so far. They look great, planning a third with them. Haven't even needed to replace the laces.
Get a second pair along with fresh new socks of your choice to start your Camino.
