Howdy folks!
Long time reader here, first time posting.
Going to attempt my first thru in a couple weeks, and am happy with all of my gear except probably the most important piece - my shoes'
Ive hiked and backpacked in everything from tevas and socks to tennis shoes to leather boots - tried on some Moab ventilators at a local outfitter and as soon as I slipped them on my feet felt so damn good, I decided these were perfect.
THE ISSUE - the guy at the shop recommended superfeet - he helped me pick the right pair and cut them to size and told me they might take some time to break in.. We'll they never broke in, the outside of my heel was falling over the side and rubbing gnarly. I put the stock air cushions in after months using the superfeet and immediately felt relief, but then the back of my heels were very painful when hiking for a few days until my feet got strong again.. what a PITA err pain in the foot..
Long story short I returned those horrid pieces of plastic and I'm wondering what to do about insoles..
I've never had any foot issues until I tried not so super feet, always used stock insoles with boots or running shoes and never blistered or had pain.
Should I stick with the stocks or should I try some other brands like dr.scholls or spencos?
What do the rest of yall use?
