Advice: socks! Camino Portuguese Senda Litoral mid August

I have just bought wider shoes (on the toes in particular) to accommodate the right socks, now the question is: which ones are the ultimate Camino socks? I have to buy them and I want to invest a little bit in order to have a super comfy felling - I don’t care if they are thick, I want them anti blisters in particular on the arch of the foot where I always get blisters.
Thank you!!

Help with Camino shoes: did I buy them too big?

Hi. I’m about to do the Portoguese Camino. I’ve just bought a pair of Hoka Challenger 8, size 39 1/2 (8). I usually wear 38 (7) for shoes like flats and sandals and 38.5 (7.5) or 38 2/3 for sneakers like Adidas and New Balance, my feet are exactly 24cm long. They shop guy told me to size up so I did, but then I went for a walk with a friend of mine, told him they felt a little bit wide on the toes and he pointed out they were definitely too big for me. This because he showed me there is exactly one index finger between my toes and the point of the shoes. Also, I have a very narrow foot so they feel comfortable, but definitely wide on the toes and the heel is not “sealed” - it’s comfortable and moves a little. They don’t cause any pain - I walked 15km and they were super cool. The foot is just not “wrapped” inside the shoe. Now I’m extremely confused and worried that my foot is not properly supported and that a wide shoe might cause blisters. I even tried the runner’s loop to “seal” the heel but I’m still worried. And I can’t make a return… Just try and sell them online. :(

Backpack for the Portoguese Camino de Santiago

Hi! I’m preparing to walk the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago. I will be starting on the 6th August. Two friends of mine have been so helpful by lending me the equipment they already have since they are true hikers (and bikers), in particular two backpacks: one Vaude Bike Alpin 25+5l and one Osprey Kestrel 38l. I am 160cm - 53kg. I am simply unable to choose the best backpack for me due to lack of experience: the Vaude seems the perfect size for me and has plenty of capacity for 12-15 days, but it’s a bike backpack! It does have a hip belt, the ventilated back panel and all the features of the other one, I actually don’t know if the straps are sturdy and comfortable enough for walking so many miles. The Osprey on the other hand is incredible of course but it’s maybe too big for a girl like me? I really don’t know what to dooo! 🙈

Hi.

I have just sold 2 tickets for Bad Bunny in Milan on Viagogo and the website is now asking me to upload the pdf tickets (there is no ticketmaster transfer available for this event). I have time until the day of the concert to do it (July 17). I just need to change the names on the tickets - which I will of course do before uploading them, but it costs me.

I am wondering, is it safe for me as a seller? I mean the concert is in 3 months and I won’t see my money until the end of July. What is something goes wrong? What is your experience with Viagogo as a seller?

I’ve recently used it as a buyer and the operation went super smooth with the help of the seller who made sure everything was alright. But I am worried that something goes wrong with the pdf tickets.

Location: Italy.

Thank you.
