When I asked for assistance I was enroute out west for a hiking trip. I stopped at a cabelas and bought a pair of Super feet guide insoles. They did not help a whole lot but they did help. I stopped at a store that sells hiking boots. I spoke to the female clerk who knew aloooot about hiking boots.
I told her I had Oboz Bridger hiking boots and told her of my heels hurting. She asked about the use and mileage. I told her I had quite a bit of mileage on them. She said she believed I had crushed them out.
I was thinking she was right and asked her what she would suggest. She recommended the Hanwag Tatra ll GTX. She went into detail about the design and quality of the Hanwag. When she got done I was sold on the boot and bought a pair. I’ve worn the new boots some and they feel great.
If these don’t cure my heels from hurting I’m going to get a custom set of insoles built.
Right now based on the mileage of my Oboz’s I believe they are worn out.
