Because these Camper shoes are so popular in Spain, my cousin bought a pair of funky rust-colored urban ones last summer while vacationing in Spain. Although the shoes are very nice, he admits that they are not all comfortable for walking more than 15 minutes in! And, as I see on the website, the main motto seems to be "Hechos Para Caminar" . Sure, they're great for walking, if you want to feel every pebble and cigarette butt you step on, according to my cousin! I admit that I would probably buy a pair because of their funky look, but if it's comfort you're looking for while walking around the cities of Spain (or any other city, for that matter!) I'd think twice about buying Campers! My personal favourite brand of shoe in Spain is ART II boots. These last a lifetime and are comfortable if you don't mind that they're on the heavy side and very bulky-looking. I buy a new pair every time I go to Spain; here in Canada, they cost more than twice the price I pay for them in Spain! And that would probably be the case for Campers as well. SusiLaGallega

When I was in Spain, I bought a pair of Campers and Flutchos. My 17-year old son prefers the Flutchos because of comfort and style; while husband likes Campers for comfort.

I've been wearing Camper since I began High School (for 14 years). They're so confortable!. Their price is Spain goes from 9000 to 14000 pesetas depending on the model.

Wow! Talk about a leap back in time! When I was a kid the only tennis shoes that existed were made out of canvas, and they had a rubber bottom that seemed to be made from left over truck tires. To say they were uncomfortable, and got stinky in a hurry would be an understatement We'd wear two, often three pairs of "sweat socks" when we practiced and played basketball, so they wouldn't stink so soon, since washing them was like trying to wash a canvas cover on a truck while it's driving 70 MPH down a highway. Now, along comes Camper... the future... which is just about a throwback to those good old days when we could have any color sneakers we wanted, as long as they were black, and had a Goodyear truck tire sole Wolf (waking up in a nightmare of rubber & leather)

Hey, I came in a little late on this topic but maybe someone can help me out. I am actually in Kaohsiung, Taiwan working for a short while, and I came upon some Camper shoes in a department store here. I really liked them and was excited to learn they are a Spanish brand. I will be in Spain in about two weeks and was wondering if someone could tell me where I could buy a pair of Campers at a good price. I will be in Madrid and then in Santander.

Not even sure if they're have store locations listed, but you can visit their website @ http://www.Camper.es (MAINLY in Spanish). [ 07-13-2001: Message edited by: MadridMan ]

Here it comes some info.
There is a dedicated Camper area in most "El Corte Inglés" locations, plus a lot of smaller shops will have also a small area dedicated to them.
The outlet shopping center you mentioned is called FACTORY, and it is in the "Las Rozas" suburb. You can get there by A-6 and taking exit 19 ,you will find the pannels after. Nevertheless is too long a detour just buy shoes.

Quoting Imelda Marcos: "I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty." -- 1987 Okay! Which one of you is Imelda? Speak up! Wolf (Who can pack ALL his shoes and take them in his carry on luggage. )
