TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

what after market insoles if any do you use?

I"ve tried a few.
either too soft , too hard, too heavy, too thick, too unsupportive
i'm stil looking for the goldilocks ones
sofsol allsport are what i'm trying next, these are thinner than normal. a dense eurethane material. i don't like most insoes, find them too thick
superfeet were the last ones i tried, thought they were a bit on the hard side but supportive
tried formthotics, thought they were too hard as well.
tried gel ones, too heavy

these are the ones i'm trying next

I use orthaheel shock inners on my runners and my hiking shoes/boots (unless the stock inner is good). I simply rip out the stock inner soles in the runners (asics always glue them in grr) and thankfully most hiking boots they can simply be taken out, and replace. I find them great. Not too hard, not too soft.

I just use the cheap Latex ones, they seem fine for work for which I use them, they give me that extra bounce for at least a week or two, for camping I would probably TAKE 2 pairs and change them half way though my trip.


Also if you use them with new socks it's double nice :o

Maybe I am too easy to please :)

Cheers.

Yep, they're great, although they do wear out fairly quickly.
