I read that Ewen recommended Sorbothane insoles for hiking boots, but is there a particular one that is better than others please ?

For many years I've always used 'Cush N Step' sorbothane insoles for both walking boots and shoes without any issues. The only problem is that they are not readily available to buy on the High Street so have always had to purchase off Ebay. However, they do vary in price so shop for the best price and customer feedback.

Many thanks Ewen.

Have to remember that your name is not spelled Ewan: my son'sname.

I don't do many long walks now, but making sure my feet are comfortable is a good idea.
