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 big Decathlon is kind of out in the suburbs. Maybe @ivar has a suggestion or @natefaith as they both live in Santiago.

Yeah there is a 2nd smaller one in SdC directly, like 15 minutes walk from my place tomorrow. But maybe there are better options.

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!

Thanks for your replies. Because the last answer came a bit late I already went shopping at Decathlon city not the biggest selection but I got new shoes and they only need to last 4 days. Thank you all
