<DIV><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#0000ff size=3> you might
want to look into Lowa boots... they make several pair of sturdy but lightweight
boots. I used a pair last fall when walking the Camino from St. Jean Pied
de Port to Santiago. Very comfortable and worked well. They are
particularly good for wider feet. If your feet sweat much at all I'd
suggest not getting any boots that have GoreTex liners, it seems to me they heat
up too much. </FONT></DIV>

<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></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
