Total pack weight without water or food is approximately 15 pounds. Food and water will add approximately 3-4#. Since I carried 28-30# while long distance hiking on the AT, this feels soooooooooo much better!

I own a pair of Chaco sandals and I wear them here at home all the time. Love them. But at home I wear them only for a short while. I would wonder about using them on the camino because after walking in them for a while the soles of my feet feel well rubbed. I guess it is the design of the soles of the sandal that are a little rough?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that does it to you but if you have read my posts about sandals, I recommend the Terra Fi by Teva sandals. Great to walk in. Make sure before you leave about the Chacos.
LOVE
I agree with Lilli about the Tevas.
ReplyDeleteI also suspect you will be leaving several of these items along the Way - once you realize you do not need to carry the extra weight. Have a GREAT time! We'll be in Leon around Aug 18 -- maybe we bump into you! Watch for the forum badge! Buen Camino! Annie
Re your pack weight, what does # mean? I assume you mean lbs not kilos.
ReplyDeletei walked the entire camino in my chacos ... they became my good friends!
ReplyDeletebuen camino. courage.
