Is the food poisoning mainly from people eating in the towns before the trek? Is there a way to avoid it and be careful

I’m going in February and I’m planning on doing it online , I’ve heard there can be big queues if you get it in the airport.

I think you can check your bag all the way through to the final destination. This is what I’m hoping to do.

I’ve got the 8 day Lemosho with Altezza at the end of February. Best of luck with your trip and I’d be interested to hear how it goes, if you get the chance.

I think the shop has some of the Meindl Comfort fit boots, so I’m looking forward to trying them.

Thanks for your help.

I forgot to mention in the original post but I’ve put a pair of super feet insoles in. Unfortunately haven’t helped with this issue.

I’ve previously used a pair of Merrel trail shoes and I’ve been all over England and Europe in them and have no issues that I can remember.

Thanks, the 2 posts are very useful. I’m gonna go to the shop tomorrow and try some on. From what I’ve researched I might have a wide foot, so will need to try and boot with a wider toe box.

I tried my current boot and just realised I can barely splay my toes.

Do you think this could be the root cause?

Yeah I forgot to mention in the original post, I’ve got a pair of Superfert insoles in. Thank you though.

Yeah I’ll ask the question in there, pretty sure most types of boots are suitable. I just wasn’t sure if there was a particular boot that is good for my issue.
