So....I feel ashamed to not know the answer to this after doing the CF twice but.....am I supposed to wear walking sandals in the rain ? With socks ? Without socks ??? What ???
I've always walked in my Berghaus lightweight high top hiking boots and they have only ever given me one blister. For the CF I needed them on the stonier sections (I like my ankles to feel supported) but having now done over 1000 miles I feel they may need to retire. I'm off to the Portugues in two weeks and I have a new pair of Merrill trekking shoes (All Out Blaze Sieve) which are super comfortable but which I'm currently wearing with socks. They are described as waterproof upper, but of course have holes in them (they are a sandal after all !!!) What do I do in the Galician rain ? I'm afraid to wear them barefoot as I don't want blisters but surely socks get soaked. Should I be taking my boots too ?? I'm in a quandry....help please
