Så Du har solide anklar !I walked Camino Ingles in May and managed very well with New Balance training shoes. No need for boots in my opinion. But then I live in Norway and all this "climbing and descending" is like I do if I take a walk in the neighbourhood..)
So you speak Norwegian! That's greatSå Du har solide anklar !
Före jag hade lärnt svenska på skolan men det var för langt. Jag har glömt närmast alt. Jag är bedre i tala spanska .So you speak Norwegian! That's greatNo, in fact my ankles are not too strong, and I walk in boots when I feel it necessary, f.ex. downhill from Cruz de Ferro and O Cebreiro. Downhill is worse than uphill, I think. Uphill is just a matter of time PS: two of my friends always walk in sandals, even if it is raining. Only when it is cold they walk in shoes. Never a blister.
I think it is a wise decision.Once again you guys are on he ball. Thank you for the responses. I think I'll go with the lightweight boots and take my haglofs with me for comfort.

So we can recognise you. I will have the forumbadge on my backpack.I'll be starting the Ingles on September 13th... I'll be wearing Keen hiking sandals.
So I've never been a massive fan of walking boots. I always find them clumpy and awkward. So I put to you the question shoes or boots. I have the following shoes and boots and I'm looking for past walkers opinions and experiences. I'm walking the Camindo Ingles over 6 days.

Walking Boots

I've had both shoes for a while so both are well broken in.
Cheers

Perhaps you could ask that on the Camino Frances section of the forum, rather than here in the Camino Ingles section.One item which may help people decide between boots and shoes is knowing what percentage of the camino frances is paved roads and what percentage are natural paths.
How about that from one of the experienced peregrinos?
Hola Tim,Is there really anything in terms of route on the Camino Ingles that is not also similarly found on the Frances ?
I walked the Frances during Nov13 and am planning to walk the Ingles from Dec8th 2014.
I know it will have its own challenges, but I am not expecting anything more complex than I met on the Frances.
Will I be surprised ? ;-)
