hello,
Just out of curiosity.. walking boots are designed to be solid, sturdy & safe, but what about the inside of the boots? insoles for walking boots are inserted "literally" to save the day & your feet. With the right pair of insoles, your feet don’t have to suffer throughout or at the end of the day. I fully understand that different insoles cater to different conditions of the foot (existing conditions or prevention of) but there are also many insoles for walking boots on the market that universally cater to general discomfort from being on your feet all day, especially in walking boots. Insoles contain different technologies & a variety of materials. I know some of these branded insoles contain a squishy type glycerine material, some neoprene & shock-absorbing material, others use foam at various levels of firmness & not forgetting some kind of antimicrobial technology. What do NBCUK forum members look for in finding the best walking boot insoles? I've been offered "as a trial" insoles that are allegedly hard wearing contain some type of Kevlar technology, they're being cut to my foot size etc.. all I have to do is give feed back. We have a few Mountaineer stores in town that can produce similar insoles but at a cost. I do know how to look after my feet prevention of "hot spots" blisters etc.. in the Forces "blisters" = (censored) LOL.
Regards
David
