Boot fit - one foot larger than the other

[Tania A. Robson]

I am a runner and have issues with one foot being slightly bigger than the other, I never noticed it til I started running and training.  I use  a gauze liner on either the inside or outside of my sock, its very thin and seems to work out just fine.  Alot of running stores or even Mountain Equipment Coop have different liners available as well.

Good luck!

  Thanks Ralph, for the suggestion.  I have tried different socks, I've yet to find the right combination.  I'm thinking I might have to go to a podiatrist to get some sort of insert.  When I thought of all the challenges of the Camino, I never thought this would be one of the biggest.  I haven't even left yet!

    Phyllis, how about trying a different sock on the looser boot, or adding a wicking liner sock on that foot?  My feet are about a half size different, but that is not enough to cause significant looseness.
