How soon before a big walk should I buy and break in new shoes?

Question

I am doing the Breast Cancer 3-Day and want to know how soon I should break my shoes in before the walk but I don't want to wear them out before the walk either.

Answer 1

Depends on how comfortable and how well the shoes fit to begin with. I would wear them for a few hours everyday for at least a week. Wear some thick socks for the 3-Day walk and always have band aides on hand just in case. Really nice that you are participating in such a worthwhile cause....thank you and have fun!

Answer 2

Break in your shoes for at least 2 weeks Before to avoid blisters
