- Time of past OR future Camino
- Some but not all, and other routes too.
I'm not planning to do the Camino until the beginning of Sept 2015, but thought I ought to start some form of training. I had what I thought was a comfortable pair of walking shoes, but last Sunday I went for a 10 mile hike and found that after only a few miles I was feeling uncomfortable with the right shoe. This was not what I was expecting, I didn't actually get any blisters even after the 10 miles, but I realised that the shoes wouldn't take the journey I had planned.
Yesterday I spent 3 hours in a well known hiking shop in the UK and tried out nearly every make of shoe they had in the store, everyone gave me the same problem, you know when it's not right don't you.
I have to say their staff were exceptional, right from the off with the foot measurements, to selecting shoes to match them.
Nearly running out of options the shop assistant came up with a pair of Merrell's, well I knew as soon as they were on a laced up that they were the ones.
Just got back from another 10 mile hike along the Jurassic coast and my feet are feeling just wonderful.
Now I'm off to make a list of all the other things I need to buy before Sept, I can't believe how excited I'm getting.
Thanks for reading.
