Hello,

my shoes are pretty down and worn out now with holes in it. As it is rainy these days I won’t make it to Fisterra with dry feet. Can you recommend a good shop for shoes in Santiago? Probably capable of speaking English. I found a Decathlon City store but maybe someone got a better recommendation.

Thanks

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Also, Piteira on Rua das Orfas (in old town Santiago). They have nice brands and may be pricier because of this. But customer service is historically good and they take their time with customers. https://www.piteira.es/

And if you need even more selection, the El Corte Inglés department store is a bit farther away but has plenty of shoes. https://maps.app.goo.gl/RkpfdYtsGoeSDu9u8

Buen Camino to Finisterre!
