There are many different ways to walk the Camino but the one thing that everyone should be doing the same is wearing the right attire to complete this mammoth challenge. Whether it’s your first time or you’re returning for another adventure, you need the right gear.

Socks
If you are going to invest in footwear for the Camino it is important to invest in good socks too. We have many merino wool and coolmax socks available. These socks have a moisture wicking material that’s pulls moisture from the foot and helps to prevent blisters, which you definitely don’t want for a walking holiday!
Walking trousers

Backpacks
When it comes to walking you need a good sturdy backpack. We have a selection of 25, 35 and 40 litre backpacks perfect for use on the Camino. These backpacks have airflow systems which help to cut down perspiration in the back area and rain covers are also included with most of these backpacks.

One big pointer for anyone heading off on the Camino: Be sure to get your shoes/boots well in advance of the trip so you can have them fully broken in and ready for your adventure. Brand new shoes on the Camino is never advised. So go walking in them before you head of on your big adventure.
