So, I bought me a couple lathrop and sons synergy footbeds just about a year ago.
How long or many miles would you say you get out of yours?
Here's the issue.. I use them in my work shoes (salomons and asics) and in my hunting boots (meindl's).
i'm 6'4" 205 lbs. size 11 in my shoes and boots.
I walk miles each day at work on hard floor. Right out my back door is a mountain, so me and the wife hike 2-3 days a week in the off season. My feet are getting hotspots each day without fail . My heels and the balls of my feet are so sore by the end of the day.
Hiking i had the same issue most of the season if it was more than a few miles. sore heels and balls of my feet.
I have a pair of salomons with the standard footbed in them. I used those on a couple hunts and feet seemed to feel much better overall. Tried them at work with regular footbeds and felt somewhat better, but still had issues by the end of my shift.
I know people rave about the synergy's. Honestly I have not been impressed and they have not helped me much in a year of use. Not once have i said wow these are amazing.
Previously I had used the Green superfeet and they seemed good for the first few hunts/hikes, but never lasted long.
I am thinking of getting the Orange superfeet and giving them a try, i am just worried about them being good for a short time then no good after a bit.
Sole's are on my list of options too, but i have no experience with them...
Any other options you would throw out there for "high impact" cushioning.
I have never got a blister while hunting, hiking or at work on my feet, so that's not an issue at all.
Are the synergy's not for any/every foot type. I have a pretty normal foot i think with normal/mid arches.
Any input on what to look at or what could be going on would be great. Also, this year, early season I will be using inov-8 286 trail runners for deer and elk. Once muzzleloader and rifle rolls around for the wife's hunts and friends when i help pack, i will be wearing my boots. I just like trail runners better after using them this past year more. Recommend me some good footbeds to throw in and try. Thanks
