I wouldn' use the winter boots. Scribing the alphabet with your toes from the ankle several times a day helps to strengthen ankles.

Although I do dehydrate my own any recommendations for veggie food from outdoorsgrub.Just returned from a Scottish trip and used some Mountain House food from evaQ8 ,especially liked the salmon and potato.

I have looked at this a fair bit and got a book about Chi running, I reckon there is a good chance of injury as you correct technique and give new muscle areas stress.The Chi running posture does feel pretty good but an injury would upset my walking plans so I concentrate more on a good posture rahter than chancing shoes.

I came to the conclusion your brain knows what it is doing and programmes your footfall to suit your body type and shape.

Certainly I feel carrying multi day backpacks is pretty much out with 'barefoot shoes' though I know some try it.

The more cynical would say it is just another fad to sell us more shoes

Lanacane anti chafe gel is good.

I try for five mins rest every hour or so and remove the shoes to cool down the feet.

Taking the shoes off,soles out ensures you stop for five mins and enjoy the view. If it is sunny take the socks off after a few days of this your feet tan and harden.
