The first attention should be given at the foot surely, our means of locomotion.
The first choice is the type of shoe to wear. along the "Way" I saw people walking with all types of footwear. The only type of pilgrim who have not seen it barefoot pilgrims. The choice is very personal and subjective. I have always walked with the light trekking s carponcini because I feel more safe and secure with the ankle firmly. My choice fell on the shoes with shock-absorbing system, which did breathe a little 'feet, strong and light enough.
I've bought a few months before the scheduled departure time and I have well-established with then the type of socks that I used for the journey. I was advised by my friend Pauline, whom I thank for his excellent advice, to anoint his feet in the evening and the morning before walking. I I used a mixture of lavender foot cream (pleasant aroma) and vaseline cream (nice greasy). I started this treatment when I was training at home and then I continued every day throughout the journey.
Before leaving I was a pedicure for me to fix some small nails and calluses. The result of this combination of treatments has been nothing short of amazing: absolutely no problem with blisters despite the eight hundred and passes mileage!
If you do not start saving on equipment from shoes that are good and comfortable, your feet will thank you and give you endless satisfaction lead to where you want it! My feet have done precisely that, if I was a bit 'less' gummed his back "I would have kissed (after being well washed of course) .
Throughout the walk we saw standing by to shudder, blisters and sores from fear and "walk" that made you understand how pilgrim that he was suffering for his feet.
ll my friend Raffaele he walked with the shoes "tested in Verona." He had a small blister on the third day. On the fourth day, after dressing, she walked with sandals. Score another blister on the same foot in a different location. After being persuaded to return to walking with the boots has anointed my feet with Vaseline in the morning even before you start walking (he anointed his feet only at night) . Score: blisters healed by the two came to Santiago without any other problem.
You spend rivers of words and articles on how to treat blisters while we never hear about how to prevent : Make the most of this advice by anointing his feet with Vaseline ointment. This has been our personal experience, then everyone will believe what they see fit.
Suseya!
