[pct-l] Shoes and inserts

[Nitnoid1]

I also use Superfeet to prevent plantar fasciitis. Soft insoles and walking barefoot cause plantar in this hiker's left foot. 

The Incredible Bulk

I am a 53 year old female, 5'10", 150 pounds. Normal weight for height.
I wear men's 10 1/2 EEEE  shoes. (Women's size ten wide in dress shoes) 
My feet got wider the more I hiked.
I usually wear New Balance trail shoes of some kind in my size.  I buy 
whatever model is on sale at Big 5.  I have two bad knees from injuries, 
and two herniated disks in my back.  I am required  to wear dress shoes 
to work, where I am on my feet all day,  and found that Superfeet 
insoles vastly improved my condition.  I have the black ones that I 
switch around to all my dress shoes (after removing any removable insole 
that came with the shoe) and I have the green ones that I switch into 
any workout or hiking shoe  (again, I removed the insole that came with 
the shoe.) They are wider than the black ones and take up more space.
I will never go without Superfeet again.  Even though they are hard 
underfoot they are perfectly matched to my foot shape and provide the 
support I need to work and hike without constant pain.
I know they don't work for everyone but they worked for me.
