Insole recommendation

[andymick32]

Looking for insole recommendations for hiking boots. No steep rock climbing or anything like that and I also have a flatter foot. Just looking for something comfortable that will hold up and not cost a fortune.

Oboz, super feet or power step.

 

[streetdoctor]

I use super feet blue

Historically haven't been a SuperFeet fan, but their Trailblazers have been phenomenal for me. The new Adapt Hike Max is a solid option too.

I've tried several of the super feet insoles and they never really worked for me. I switched to the Lathrop and Sons synergy footbeds this year and they been pretty good so far with a lot of miles on them.

SuperFeet Trailblazers work awesome for my flatter feet.

I’ve used
-superfeet green and orange. Lifted my heels but didn’t give me the arch support that I need.
-SOLE red. Arch support lacked the rigidity to prevent my instep from collapsing.


Currently using
-Tread labs yellow carbon fiber. Instep and arch support are excellent. Ankle pain went away completely. They have worn serious holes in 3 pairs of my crispis, straight through the bootie. Now water seeps in like a creek. Reached out to them but still no response.


Still searching…

I got low volume power steps for my Hanwags. $30 on amazon, Really like them. Superfeet can tear up boots if you don't get the right ones.

I've run superfeet (green) for about a decade and they are my go to.

Blueprint insoles - last a looooong time, good for lower arches but still provide support and will not destroy the liner in the boot.
They are higher-volume insoles though so there is that - but super comfy.

None of the Superfeet worked for my flat feet. I’m using Sole’s now and I’m happy with them.

I just got the basic Lathrop and sons (not custom) and I’ve been really surprised how well they feel. They are pretty low volume though so if your boots are already loose, they might not be for you.

Superfeet green for me but you have to find the ones that fit your dawgs best.

I but the bullet and bought sheepfeet, ended up buying a second pair during their last sale

Superfeet Carbon. But, my feet aren't picky.

 

[Longleaf]

I have flat feet and use power step

 

[RazeRob]

I have superfeet. By far my favorite are the everyday comfort in my work boots. Used the trailblazers this year in my hunting boots and had some fore foot pain on my right foot. Might just be my messed up feet or boots but I need to figure out how to fix it. I was looking at sheepfeet but have not pulled the trigger.

What's the advantage of a second pair?

 

[Arkangel86]

What's the advantage of a second pair?

For another pair of boots.

I will mention these since they haven't been suggested...

Comfort Fit® Insoles

Meindl's Comfort Fit Cork Insoles provide a second life to your favorite regular-fitting shoes and boots. Natural cork in the footbed molds to the curves of your foot for support, stability and shock absorption. A moisture-managing layer over the cork draws moisture away and Poron® inserts in...

I have been using these for years and have them in all my boots. I initially took the insoles out of a pair of Meindl boots that I eventually wore out and still use the original insoles. You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you how long the original insoles have lasted, albeit with a little tape.
Anyway, I have used Superfeet green as well and the Meindl insoles are far more comfortable, IMO. I think the cork makes all the difference. They run large so you will likely have to do a little back and forth before you find your size-for your boot.
The customer service fellow that helped me with an exchange was mildly surprised to hear I was using these in boots other than Meindl. If other folks were as impressed with these insoles as I am, I expect there would be displays in every sporting goods retailer that sells boots.
