<DIV><BR>Hello everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am leaving in 24 days to begin the pilgrimage for a second time. This
time in Roncevalles. The last time I went I wore my leather expedition boots.
However, in recent years I have been working on my ultralight backpacking skills
and have my pack down to about 13 pounds without food so I don't think the
expedition boots are necessary this time. I was wondering what you all wore when
you made your pilgrimage and if you have any recommendations on what type of
footwear one should wear. I know I want more stability that just walking shoes
or cross-trainers, but I don't think the boots I have would be ideal for a light
pack and the hot Spanish summer. Thanks in advance for your advice. Buen Camino,
Kerrie</DIV></BODY></HTML>
