How far did Frodo & Sam actually walk?

The distance from Hobbiton to Mordor is roughly 1350 miles (or about 2200km), which is equivalent to walking from LA to Austin.
I worked out the distances using the scale on the Middle Earth map and a few people have pointed out that they're not too accurate. This doesn't surprise me as I didn't spend too long on it - just enough to get a rough feel for the distance. When you're talking about spanning a continent the odd few miles here and there don't matter hugely IMO.

That would fit with the logical closure point.

It took them 6 months from the day they left the shire to the day they destroyed the ring at Mt Doom. An average person walks 20-25 miles a day. If you take into effect stopping at various places (Rivendell etc) and the fact that they Are hobbits and that sometimes they barely traveled, let's say they averaged 10 miles a day. So 180 days at 10 miles a day comes to 1,800 miles.

From Jenny which means they were cheap, she could have gotten a better pair but needed the extra $20 for a good bump.

When walking in all kinds of terrain, cheap shoes >>>>>>>>> no shoes.
