People

There was a guy who wore shoes he hadn't worn since he was 19. Now 30. Got blisters so took them off. Put on flip flops. Walked 10 km with them. And one of those broke so theytaped it to his foot with bandage tape!  One guy is doing the whole thing wearing "five fingers" shoes. They have soft soles. He says you get use to the rocks. He has no knee pain with them.  One lady is walking with shorting pain from the side of her foot up to her groin. Liz has a blister

Sorry to hear the dreaded B has surfaced :(
I too was amazed and concerned with the foot wear people use, I actually say a lady walking barefoot-she was in a city and probably wore shoes on the Camino?
Don't ever walk with pain- listen to your body !!
Glad the weather is not sooooo hot-I HATE walking in heat-give me rain and cloudy skies any day :)
Can't wait for you to start the Mesata and if you find the note I left you in San Nicholas :)
