Shoes in Salamanca

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Hey @rainforestgirl
Sorry to hear about the shoe problem. And hoping you find good replacements. I personally can’t wear any shoes from Decathlon though they do stock a limited supply of Merrells.
What happened with the Lone Peaks? Did they just wear out?
Blessings and Bien Camino. ❤️
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
How about checking out El Corte Inglés? Their Salamanca store has a great Sports Department with a really good range of shoes.
I can recommend the Brooks range - roomy toe box and substantial soles with excellent cushioning.
Good luck with your search and Buen Camino on this very beautiful route to Santiago.
Cheers from Oz -

The Lone Peaks were just not suitable for the first half of the rough VdlP terrain. Not enough cushioning & support rendered ankle pain. Got some Merrill trail shoes & they’re great. In Zamora at the moment & shoes working well.
