Before you go
- Break in your walking shoes over several weeks
- Choose shoes half a size larger to allow for swelling
- Test your socks on long walks — merino or technical blends work well
On the trail
Stop at the first sign of a hot spot and cover it. Cobblestones in historic towns are harder than boardwalks, so adjust your pace. And remember: with car assistance, resting a sore foot never means falling behind.
