Bought some perfekts last week and have worn them two days. The bottom of my foot feels like I jumped off a 20 story building.  Is this normal?

What kind of socks are you wearing? Good boot fit needs good socks if you ask me to make it really right. 2 days in I wouldn't be too concerned with them not feeling just right. You've got to get them broke in. I have the Meindl Perfekt hunters and they've been awesome boots. No leaks, comfortable, etc. they've been everywhere from the top of Mt Adams to the Blues and the northeast and have been great boots.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
