Boots - sore feet - HomeOwnersHub

You're a sage & experienced old bunch hence I thought i'd put this to you; I bought some new boots (Grisport Fuse) at the back end of last year, from a long established outdoor shop and took advice from the proprietor re size and fit. immediately did a fair bit of walking in them (up to 8 miles per day) and over the course of a couple of weeks got sore feet. Barely worn them since but thought i'd do a bit this weekend, did a couple of miles on Friday and 3.5 today and I have sore feet again. The soreness is around the broadest part of the foot, in front of the ankle, it doesn't look bruised, feels sort of like it has been crushed. I've never had bother with footwear before beyond rubbing, can't decide what to do ie. get some different boots or man up and see if it sorts itself out.

Thank you - very interesting. Most of the time I end up reading about people with flat feet or dropped arches.

Certainly sounds a bit better thought through than what I received.

You're welcome - happy feet are penguins :-)

I took some interest in this a few years ago when I got back into walking after 20+ years of long-distance cycling. The joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments were all 'wrong' but my feet needed a lot of considering. Not high arches, but weak, I guess and also the forefoot splays a lot (Altberg's boot-fitter was most, um, 'impressed'!). Fortunately, Superfeet Greens worked for me. I shall give the Moonwalk mentioned upthread a go when a tuit arrives.

Stop right there!

Boots just aren't very good in most situations.

Get some comfy walking shoes - you'll appreciate the liberation.
