Br. David said:good question but a can of worms! - personally I am a poncho man,
I am sure that socks with sandals is a no-no in australia as well (my children certainly tell me it is!!!).
thanks for advice on sandals, i am looking at them now. We are looking at starting from SJPP on 7th April and have one change of clothes ie. 1 shorts, 1 long pants, 2 tee shirts and then warm long sleeve top and jacket (but we are now looking at the Altus pnocho!!!! :lol: ) question is???? should we take waterproof pants in case it is raining? we thought.."so what if we get wet", when we stop for the day, just dry our pants and we have the other pair if needed. My brother, who has done other types of treks, says we are mad not to take them...any thoughts??

Christina said:....... Also what would seasoned Camino walkers suggest for a light weight shoe to wear when the boots come off, would crocs be a good idea or not very practical. I have loads more questions but I think that is enough to start with. Thanks for all the info on this forum it has been so helpful.
About a week before leaving for South America and the Inca Trail, I was still not sure what type of walking shoes to wear / or buy. Then, by pure co-incidence, I walked into the CROCS shop and saw the All-Terrain shoes. I picked one up ........light as a feather !! They looked robust, strong and comfortable .....my mind was made up these shoes would be my partners on the GREAT INCA TRAIL !! I bought some thick LAMA WOOLEN socks from a hiking shop and was ready to walk - - - - -To test them out, I played 9 holes of golf wearing the new CROCS - no slip, no problem and NO BLISTER or discomfort -- I was even more convinced that these were the shoes for me and the INCA TRAIL. Then the walk began !! Early morning and cold - Altitude around 2500meters - my feet were warm and comfortable. The walk lasted 3 and 1/2 days ., 3 overnights in small tents ... close to 50 Km distance and altitude variation between 2500 and close to 4500 meters (dead woman's pass) ..... Lots of uphill and downhill !!! The CROCS did the job for me - no matter whether the air temperature was hot or cold.

I'm seriously thinking of buying a pair of Off Road Crocs, not only for casual wear after showering, but also for walking occasionally on the road.
Here is a review "Crocs Walk Inca - No Blisters and No Problem" for the All Terrain Crocs from a South African website:

Sansthing said:I remarked to my daughter-in-law yesterday that I was concerned I might be cold on the Camino but didn´t want to carry too much.She suggested the following: get a thick pair of tights, cut off the feet and cut a hole in the crotch. Put your arms in the legs and your head in the hole, and voilá - a stretchy, warm light top :idea: . I think it is a brilliant idea and am already hunting through my tights drawer! Sandra
