    I have upgraded my orthotics and that has been an improvement , but my boots are too narrow

    No experience myself, just judging by a family s episode and relief after. She was warned about a proper recovery practices and kept to a strict regime and is all smiles and giggles, glad to be pain free.

    too remember about buying wider boots , that both are wider, so may have fit issues on the good side
    What ever you do to ese the pain , life will be a whole lot better
    Have had my own problems by too much time in shoes with poor support
    now even house shoes are correct
    Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC

    Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC

    Pain free is good ! When your in pain it takes away from your general well being ! We all have different thresholds with pain as well.It’s too bad you can’t mix boot sizes if one foot is a tad too short . If this next pair of boots don’t cut it I’m going custom made .

    I have a friend who was the lead gortex guy for one of the major high end outdoor clothing companies in Canada, he advised not to get a gortex lined boot because the gortex is prone to splits and getting clogged with salts from sweating feet. My experience with high quality leather boots is that they won’t leak if they are well care for. I just got new scarpas after almost 10 years in my old ones and never had wet feet. Be good to hear others opinions on their experience with/without gortex.

    Re: Need Boots

    I have been on the hunt for boots for awhile now as well. I found Meindl has the widest toe box so far and have tried Zamerlan guides, Hanwag Yukons, Arcteryx Acrux and a few Crispi's.
