You can probably use hiking sandals comfortably on a large part of the Camino. There are exceptions--part of the descent from Roncevalles to Pamplona, places where the trail is old, rutted and rocky or when it rains and you're walking through thick mud. Then you can put on your boots. I think you'll be okay. Good luck. Joe Ceniceros</FONT></HTML>
