Need to buy new shoes in SdC

Time of past OR future Camino
April 24: Camino Frances
Hello,

my shoes are pretty down and worn out now with holes in it. As it is rainy these days I won’t make it to Fisterra with dry feet. Can you recommend a good shop for shoes in Santiago? Probably capable of speaking English. I found a Decathlon City store but maybe someone got a better recommendation.

Thanks
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Yeah there is a 2nd smaller one in SdC directly, like 15 minutes walk from my place tomorrow. But maybe there are better options.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Deportes Toribio.
Rua Horreo. Quite central.

 
Also, Piteira on Rua das Orfas (in old town Santiago). They have nice brands and may be pricier because of this. But customer service is historically good and they take their time with customers. https://www.piteira.es/

And if you need even more selection, the El Corte Inglés department store is a bit farther away but has plenty of shoes. https://maps.app.goo.gl/RkpfdYtsGoeSDu9u8

Buen Camino to Finisterre!
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

I do like them and their Quechua shoes for the Camino

Hello, I'm not doing the Camino (yet), so I don't know if this question fits in this forum... But I'm looking for advice and I think this is the best place. I'm planning a three or four days trip...
A nice read 🙏🏻 https://www.elcorreogallego.es/santiago/2024/06/04/historia-trampillas-techos-casas-rua-vilar-nova-santiago-103321171.html
I haven't done a live feed on this last section of my camino from home in Ireland which I started back in 2021 - but quire excited to reach SdeC tomorrow on 6th June!
