 Wear the most comfortable shoes/sneakers you have - You will be thankful that you did! Bring ICY HOT or some type of foot pain reliever patches &/or cream to use at night while sleeping. Bring Tylenol or Advil if you have achy joints - I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night (and in between some days)
