I've heard the lathrop and sons foot bed are good but i havent gotten my hands on them yet. they are wierd because they will give you zero support.

I purchased a pair of Danner elkhunter boots..they came with a heel/arch support u can put in boot. There is no boot insole inside so one would be standing on the plastic itself which I see not being comfortable. I am in the market for a boot insole and I know there is alot of them out there..wanting to see what are the best ones out there people have had experience using.Try them as they are first. You might be surprised at how confortable they are. Everyone is a little different but I have put alot of miles on my Elkhunters with the stock factory heel cup and loved every minute of it. The airbob sole on mine is soft enough to provide all the cushioning I need. :twocents:

what i've really wanted to do was see if i could glue a set of lathrop and sons footbeds to the top of some green superfeet so that i would have the best shock absorbsion cushion technology combined with the best support and shock absorbsion through great fit.
You won't have room in the boots for your feet. Aside from that it'd probably be great.

I am on the danner website and all I see is Elk Ridge? Can you send me a link to these elk hunters?
Thanks
Joe
The elk hunters are the Cabelas Danner model - 10" vs some of the 8". My only frustration with the Elk hunters is the lack of Ankle support. They have been good boots. I have hundreds of miles on them over the last 5 years or so. I will be trying Kennetrek with my next purchase

The Lowas GTX Hunters have 200g insulation. Perfect for hunting until November. They are pretty comfy out of the box but are stiff so I had to put about 15 miles on them to get them "formed" good. I also use snoseal on them. Like I said they are stiff and offer A LOT OF SUPPORT. On flat ground or slopes you won't notice a different between these and Cheapo boots. But when your climbing mph.gains and especially side hills these things come into their own. And especially side billing with a load of meat these are worth their weight in gold. I put on 40 miles in 5 days in the mountains and while my body was beat my feet felt good to go. I can't say enough good things. I wore them in the summer in Alabama and they didn't get too hot. September in elk country I saw temps from 35 to 80 and my feet stayed comfortable. I also think green superfeet insoles and smart wool lite hikers socks also made the difference.

Lowas aren't for everybody. If you just hike logging roads and don't hit the steep and deep, then they would be overkill. For me, bowhunting and chukar hunting they are worth their weight and more in gold. The ankle and foot support is phenomenal.
Ditto on the Superfeet and Sno Seal.

what ia green superfeet? mike w
Superfeet is a brand of aftermarket insoles, which are coded by color based on the thickness and design of the insole.

I love mine and run them stock :tup:love mine stock also,when I could hike a lot I always carried an extra pair of socks and changed after a half a day..Danner needs to bring back the old style hiker with the bob sole,and make an elk hnter with the cordura sides..thet would be the two best shoes to me
