This article aims to contribute to the debate on mobility research methods. It describes three interview methods and their limitations in capturing the perceptions, experiences, and practices of everyday walking. This social geography research is based on a year-and-a-half's fieldwork in the Andean metropolises, which combines a phase of semi-structured interviews, go-along walks, and photo-elicitation interviews. This paper presents the challenges of foreign language research based on speech analysis and analyzes the complementarity of the collected discourses. In addition, it highlights the difficulty of freeing these speakings from routine experience. Finally, several suggestions for using images to build knowledge about the experiences and practices of everyday walking are presented.
