So sorry to hear that! Have you already tried the Decathlon in Burgos? Buen Camino, SY
Also have you looked in the lost/found box in the albergue? Perhaps you get lucky there ...
Thanks @SYates , never thought of that, might have to give it a try. I'm on my way to decathlon now, praying I get a solid pair that fit.So sorry to hear that! Have you already tried the Decathlon in Burgos? Buen Camino, SY

Thanks @mspath , I'm on my way there now. Fingers crossedHere is the address of Decathlon in Burgos for sporting goods.
Decathlon Burgos
Centro Comercial Parque Burgos, Carretera N1, Km 236,
09001 Burgos, Spain
+34 947 27 91 27
Chiming in with @Wokabaut_Meri, @Anemone del Camino, and @Anniesantiago. If you don't manage to get what you need, that will get you as far as Leon or Astorga where there are other shoe places.
And to clarify what I said about paper tape--yeah, definitely don't use it on raw skin. That's for after the toes have healed.
Let us know how you go, @Tommybhoy !
you are stuck anyway, try ordering online and getting by express post . I am sure you will find some. TEVA are the best I have foundHey pilgrims, I'm in Burgos with my feet in bad condition. Lost all the skin and both toenails on my pinky toes, and it's very tender. Doctor at the medical centre ordered 3 days rest and I can only carry on if I get sandals. Trouble is I went all across Burgos to find a pair and none fit my size 12 feet.
If I don't get any sandals the Camino is over for me. Plain and simple. Any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, I've managed to purchase a fantastic pair of Teva sandals from an excellent sports/hiking shop in Calle Madrid, Burgos. It's called 'base' and the assistant was very knowledgeable and was well acquainted with the plight of the perregrino. I also went to the pharmacy and got the necessary supportI will get the bus on Monday to link up with my Camino family, and transport my pack for a few days until I'm back to fitness. Thank you guys for your support/advice and suggestions, I'm a happy pilgrim again!
Buen Camino
You are so right @SabineP , I was so fed up because my flip flops were so inadequate and doing the pilgrim shuffle was getting soooo old. The Base Deportes was a godsend, and I can't wait to get to get back on the caminoAh good for you!
Also good to know that there is indeed another Base Deportes more in the city centre than the Base Deportes I posted above. If your feet hurt no one likes to walk more than necessary to a shop for new sandals.
