Am I the only one that feels a little sad when it is time to retire a pair of shoes or boots that served you faithfully on one or several Camino's?
In my case, I had both love and hate for footwear worn on various Camino's. Picture one is of me trashing my hiking boots in Sahagun in 2015. I decided at that point that they would blister my feet no more. The selection at the store was limited as was their size options, but the cross training shoes lasted for the balance of that Camino, our walk in 2016 on the Francis and our Portuguese Camino in 2017 but were retired in Santiago after the Portuguese Camino. My current Merrell's that survived the Primitivo in 2018 and Camino Francis in 2019 have been relegated to winter walking in the snow and slush, but they will soon be retired as well. New Merrell's waiting in the box for the Del Norte this fall.
