Crocs or sandals? - Camino de Santiago Forum
WEBCamino Frances (May-June 2016) Feb 18, 2016. #1. I'm currently debating whether to bring Crocs or walking sandals (Tevo) as my second pair of footwear for a May/June Camino. Both are waterproof and therefore can be used as shower footwear. Crocs are more comfortable (IMHO--I've never been much of a sandals guy) but sandals would likely be ...
PSA: Crocs shrink (and how to unshrink them)
WEBMar 23, 2019 — For myself I ordered a new pair and they were too loose. Well, place your Crocs in the dryer for 5 minutes with a couple of towels on medium to high. Don't be surprised when they look even smaller. Put them on over thick socks and wear them until cool. If your Crocs are too big the dryer will shrink them.
Multipurpose shoes for shower and town? | Camino de Santiago …
WEBMay 14, 2023 — I used to wear flipflops, but my joints and tendons are not so happy with flipflops anymore. On my last Camino I took my Teva sandals, which are great for around town. But for the shower/walking to the toilet at night I would prefer slip-on shoes. So now I am doubting between Crocs and Birkenstocks Arizona EVA...
Crocs Rule - Camino de Santiago Forum
WEB2017. Nov 14, 2017. #1. Hi all, This is my 1st time on the forum but having spent hours on the forum before I did the Camino looking at lots of posts about footwear I thought I would pass on my experience. I decided to take 2 sets of footwear - my very comfortable Crocs (Duet Sport Clog) and a pair of Newbalance joggers just in case.
Favorite end of day shoes - Camino de Santiago Forum
WEBAug 3, 2024 — Without a doubt my fav ´evening shoes’ are CROCS. They are super light,durable, cushy, great for in the Albergue, the shower, and on the street because your toes are protected. The only down sides-you have to be strapped to your pack’s exterior (but this makes them super quick to access when its time to change out of your walking …
Shower shoes? - Camino de Santiago Forum
WEBCamino Portugues (2016) Sentier Cathar (2017) Dec 9, 2018. #4. Footwear for the shower is a personal thing. My guess is that if you are asking then you should take something. If you're a germophobe *definitely* take flip-flops, if you are using a communal shower in a gym/swimming pool and would normally wear flip-flops take flip-flops.
Teva sandals or crocs? - Camino de Santiago Forum
WEBJul 19, 2016 — Apr 7, 2015. #2. You can walk in Crocs too - just about. They are great for pottering around the albergue or getting from the place you're staying to the place you're eating, and for nipping to the loo in the night, but not a lot more. I once swore I'd bring Crocs on all my coming caminos, but I have chosen to bring the Tevas every time.
Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight
WEBApr 8, 2014 — When I got my one and only blister last year, I took my shoes off and changed to crocs. They were perfectly adequate for the last five kilometres of the day. They are also invaluable for laundry duty (the floor is always wet, and it gets muddy if I wear my shoes and I don't want to get my socks wet) and a little light walking around town after ...
Spare pair of shoes? - Camino de Santiago Forum
WEBMay 22, 2023. #11. One pair of good quality, well-fitted and broken-in walking shoes or boots, plus one pair of walking sandals for evening or off-day wear is all you need. Many people also pack a pair of flip-flops or Crocs for shower use and evening wear.
2nd pair of shoes - Camino de Santiago Forum
WEBMay 27, 2016 — My second pair of shoes have always been Tevas. Although I didn’t hike in them, I easily could have. But, at the end of the day, it was great to take off my hiking shoes and put on the sandals. If you have a properly fitting shoe, I have walked in both Merrell Moabs and trail running shoes, you’ll be in good shape.
