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.
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.

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.

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.

Teva sandals or crocs? - Camino de Santiago Forum
WEBApr 7, 2015 · Teva sandals or Crocs are fine in the shower. Walk for a couple of hours in each one to see the best alternative footwear if you need to hike out of your boots for a day or two. Most find Teva better, but I have seen Crocs work well for a couple of days when the Teva alternates rubbed the boot blisters and the Crocs did not.

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.

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.
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.
