Was going to say trainers... I started mine 50 mile/24 hour in

my Nike Veromia's with walking shoes and walking boots for the trickier sections but ended wearing them the whole distance as just amazingly comfy.
You will get blisters - but compeed them as soon as you feel the rub. And black toe nails and toes! Mine are still black a week and a half on from the walk.
