How bad are your feet?,and what problems do you have?.Miltary boots from Lowa or the stiffer hunting boots from Meindl could be problematic for you without very good insoles.If your feet are such a problem maybe the best idea would be to go more for good quality hiking boots and to try first in a shop.

Raichle for me

you can use a bit a lambs wool up in the toe box if you doing a lot of downhill & make sure your socks are as good as your boots. arctic boot socks are great but REALLY warm

[boysfaetheblackstuff]

[J Darcy]
