<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">I used low top hiking shoes. I broke them in by wearing them to work everyday (I had a waittressing job). Also, at the beginning of the pilgrimage I put vaseline (the lotion form) on my feet every night and I also wore two pairs of socks. I never got any blisters or had any feet problems what so ever, besides soreness. The vaseline smelled funny but it was worth it.<BR>
