I’ve just hiked 71 miles in 5 days and I have to say my feet are pretty broken. They hurt like hell and I have some nasty blisters. Which is probably down to my socks and footwear, but that is not the issue here! When I was walking particularly on my final day the question above was all I could think about.

They walked for miles and I have seen their footwear, it did not look comfortable. Did they just tough it out or was it a case that it’s just how the grew up so their feet were used to it? Thanks
