barefoot?

[Crawley, Jeffrey]

Very true, even sandles can be a pain on the gravel sections.

I remember seeing photos in the bar in St Juan de Ortega of a celebrated eccentric pilgrim who travelled in medieval gear - cloak, scrip, scallop, hat, gourd and staff but believe even he wore thin leather soled sandles.

best not.

noone that I saw.  It is full of gravel and rocky for long segments.  I suppose you can do it barefoot for brief periods here and there.  But I do not advise you to do this at all.  Howard Mendes, NYC
