I am starting the Camino in two weeks and am anticipating rain. On past hiking ventures plastic grocery type bags around your feet inside your boots helps.
You are putting plastic bags between shoes and shock, right? Not sure if you have tried this and had success but I would think this will cause your sweat moisture to be trapped inside, resulting wetness on your feet. But I would not know if this for sure. Did this method work for you?
I got this waterproof shoes thinking it will prevent feet from getting wet but it seems there are more disadvantages with this thpe of shoes. First, waterproof only prevents from stepping on shallow water, not from rain, as a result the water gets in the shoes when in rain. Two, it does not breath so with all day of walking, your sweat causes the feet/socks with moisture. And three, once it is wet, it is harder for shoes to dry.
In order to dry your shoes, place them in the bottom of your sleeping bag overnight. Will be warm and dry in the morning. Old army trick.
Yes.Do you mean inside the sleeping bag, near feet area?
If so, put them in a plastic bag, but keep it open.How do you deal with mud on the shoes/boots getting inside the sleeping bag?
No. Your body heat will dry everythingAlso the the moisture will be transferred to sleeping bag and will have damp sleeping bag? Or may be I misunderstood....
