Ridged orthotic complications, Anyone?

[Lathrop and Sons Boots]

I'm going to ask a question as I have taken several calls from individuals pertaining to orthotics not feeling comfortable in their boot. The usual question is, " I bought these expensive things but they don't feel comfortable, why is that?"

Has this been a problem for you? If so, what did it feel like and were you able to fix it?

My question would be since they are going in boots, did the person wear the boots regularly before the hunt to acclimate their feet to the new dynamic inside of the boot. Taking Orthotics from an everyday shoe into a hunting boot that's worn a week or two every year is not a recipe for success necessarily...

I would agree with that statement completely, very important to gradually wear anything in to get use to the new environment.

Im assuming your orthodics were custom made for you by a podiatrist. Not uncommon for your feet to take a couple weeks to get use to hard orthodics.

After the initial couple weeks use after you get them, using them in various proper fitting footwear shouldnt be an issue, but it will depend on the nature of your foot and the issues you have.
