Success in St. Louis @ REI's yesterday. I was patiently quizzed, measured (sitting and standing), fitted, adjusted and put through a maze of manuvers and ultimately deemed a successful boot match for my feet by Robert! He spent over an hour with me and at one point a woman who was standing next to him commented to me about the boots and asked me if they were for hiking . She said they would have been great for the walk she did in Spain."Do you mean the Camino?" I said.
"Yes, I walked it in 2004. " she replied.
SMALL WORLD!!!! She and her husband walked from St. Jean, France to Santiago in 28 days!!!! They were supposed to walk again this year, but she broke her ankle last winter and couldn't do it. It was encouraging to hear from someone that had completed 475 miles in 28 days!! Maybe the "Ladies of Spain" will have a shot at more mileage!

Small world indeed. It's very neat to hear about it. Thanks for sharing. The boots look nice but I know it's the fit that's way more important.
we can do it!
