[at-l] my feets hurt

[Bror8588 at aol.com]

I suppose you have gotten your hiking boots fitted by a good shoe  person.  
Perhaps you might need some good inserts.  Consult with a  Podiatrist or a 
Physical Therapist who knows about feet and the many muscles,  bones, tendons, 
etc., that make up a good foot.  I just went to an expert  sports shoe store and 
learned that I needed a much larger size shoe than I had  been wearing.  The 
shoe salesperson needs to measure your feet each time  you purchase shoes.  
 
Treat your feet better than you treat any other part of your body for they  
carry you wherever you go.

I think that my feet hurt in some way pretty much the entire time I'm  
hiking. I'm generally pretty lucky as far as blisters. Though, I  do
tend to rub a hole in the Achilles tendon area. As for walking for  
months with hurty feet....what else can you do? Quit?
