[QUOTE="trecile, post: 985253, member: 52787"] There is a bit of a difference between being able to hike 10-12 miles on weekend hikes, and walking the same distance (or more) on a daily basis on the Camino. Mostly having to do with your feet and blisters. Footwear that works well on weekend hikes may start to cause you problems from the repetitive rubbing day after day. I always recommend that you do at least 3 consecutive days of walking 10 miles or more in the footwear that you plan to use on the Camino. Take a break every 3-6 miles, as you probably will on the Camino. Most importantly, pay attention to any hot spots that develop. When you feel a hot spot stop immediately and attend to it. My preferred method is to apply a thin flexible tape to the parts of my feet that are blister prone. I really like [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009R2YCOC/?tag=casaivar02-20'][B]Omnifix[/B][/URL] and [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006ULPUI/?tag=casaivar02-20'][B]Hypafix [/B][/URL]tapes, both of which are widely available in farmacias in Spain. There are other strategies, like applying an anti-friction balm or Vaseline, or using liner socks. Use these training walks to determine what works best for you. [/QUOTE]
