Well, it’s a start

   Posted by: Michael   in Preparation

I have some of the things from the equipment list.

I’ve picked up a pack, a towel, a headlamp, and I’ve bought some shoes that I’m testing over the summer. If they work well I’ll buy another pair a month or so before I leave. Oh, and Sandy bought me a right smashing Tilley for me to wear. :)

I was curious about your Keen boots as I have been researching the subject. Unfortunately, I was knocked out of the site. How did you find them and how did they hold up? Any information would be helpful. Thanks, Dave

I loved my Keens.
They are a wide fit, so if your feet are more to the normal or narrow fit you may want to consider another brand. They held up well, although one of the several pairs I own had some separation at the sole (thankfully not the pair I took on the Camino).
Because of the lacing system it was easy to move the laces away from my toes to avoid some blisters that I developed.
All in all, great shoes, but a good fit is what you really need. I suggest going to a reputable shoe store, preferably one that does orthopaedics. In Winnipeg Canadian Footware is great with very knowledgeable staff.
