I arrive in Leon on Saturday to begin my Camino. Do I need waterproof hiking shoes?
Even if you are super fit ..take it slowly for the first hour or so each morning when you start off .I am starting from Sjpp 18th Of May. With your experiences so far, har is your most important and best advice for my camino? I am walking single.
Triple tie. Never heard of that. What does it mean? 3 knots. How does that stop feet moving forwards?You should triple tie your laces before tying the laces in looped bows to hold your feet back so your toes do not push into your toe box

Yeah that's what I meant-And if your trainers/trailrunners have an extra "eye" towards the top run your laces through these before starting on long sections with downhill walking as this will also help preventing your foot sliding forward. This might seem obvious to others, but took me a few years to figure out that those extra holes served a purpose, and I wish I'd figured it out sooner.
I followed this advice and have been delighted on my training hikes. Thanks everyone!The advice about bigger shoes on here - wish I had listened! Lost 3 toenails going down to Zubiri! Managed to get new shoes at the Camino shop in Pamplona, going fine now. Hard lesson
