Most walkers have definite ideas about clothes and equipment.
As I have been asked so often what I took with me, and most of what I took performed exceptionally well, I thought a few notes on the major items might be useful to others. Mephisto Recklers Mephistos are French shoes that combine lightness, flexibility and breathability with a sturdy Vibram sole and interior contouring for maximum support and hence maximum comfort. When I was planning my walk, many people advised me to buy Boots. I balked at the weight of most of them. Their only drawback was the wearing down of the Vibram, though this only became an irritant in the last week of the walk.
