I used to walk a lot. I haven't properly walked for many years. Anyway.....trying to get back into it.
Sooooooo......today, out I went with my old, trusted pair of Brashers. They are intact, they look ok, they are still waterproof, stitching is complete. They used to be fine from what I remember. I have worn them on and off on short walks but not put them through their paces for a while!
I walked over the Pentland hills....well...three of them. Had a fab day. But on the road back....my feet
Oh lordy....they are sore! I am blistered all over on the soles of my feet.I don't remember having these problems before. Hubby thinks my feet are moving in my boots....but they haven't shrunk!
Could it be as simple as socks? I genuinely can't remember what I used to wear (It is 18 years since I walked up a hill!)
I really want to get back into this. I am hoping to climb a munro soon.
I know this is a really naive question in amongst all you walkers......but am I kidding myself my 18 year old boots are OK? (they were blooming good boots at the time!) or can a decent pair of socks make the difference?
