I ordered mine 7/7, delivered to me 7/12, sent back out 7/13. Sure hope they get here soon, I spoke the those guys on the phone and they said 4 week from ordering to having insoles. That’s come and gone, I leave in 4 weeks and planned to have a month to allow my feet to get used to them, doesn’t look like that’s going to happen
I had a similar regret with lathrop and sons “custom” insoles but other guys love them. The sheep feet take a bit to get used to and my feet started out a little sore but after a few hikes I’m better off by having them. Great support and minimize foot movement. Helped with a fallen arch on one foot. I did have to trim the front half. You could send them the factory insoles of the boots you want to put them in and see if he can cut you a deal on a second pair with the exact dimensions to the factory insole. He already has the mold.
I wouldn't hold my breath for a return call. I called and emailed to ask about mine last year and have not received a reply in over 12 months.
DON'T throw in the towel yet. I had the exact same issues/thoughts that you do. I decided that since I made this investment, I am gonna make them work. So all I did was hammer out a couple miles each day in them for a week, and I started to notice a difference in things. My PF pain that I had every morning went away. I am a believer of them. I think I have had them for about a month now. I just took my time to allow my feet to adapt to the insert. This is one of those things in life that you're not going to get instant gratification from. Need to put a little sweat into it. If they don't help after a month of breaking them in, then I would think you have a right to dislike the product.
I wouldn't give up on them or their podiatrist. Give them a call or keep trying ((801) 885-4396). They open at 9AM Mountain Time (Mon-Friday). I know that they have been at TAC every week for several weeks and were at Snowbird all weekend last week. I visited with them for a little bit while I was there. I am sure that they are a bit behind, but I have talked with them via email and via telephone several times. And they will help you make sure that the fit is right.
Just wanted to check in and see if your inserts are working any better after hammering some miles in them? I stepped things up this past week and my pain is really diminished and the inserts are really helping.
I'm still researching these and learning about them, will watch the Gritty podcast in a min when I am home, but quick question..
You could do the 1/2 inserts and swap, if you gym shoes are as big as your hunting boots you could also swap, most hunting boots will have a larger toe box though
I swap between my hunting boots. I just wanted to make sure that they work good in my warm weather and cool weather boots. They work perfectly fine in each. I also have the half-inserts, and I keep forgetting to put them in my gym shoes. They are in the closet at home, but for some reason I always forget to take them out and put them in the shoes.
