I have read every post about foot pain and Morton's Neuroma. I noticed people mention the problem of hot feet after 7-8 miles, and then the pain begins, and that's what happens to me also.
This spring and summer I've been able to avoid pain by wearing the Merrill barefoot minimalist for day hiking and UL backpacking, but on sharp rocks it was difficult. Recently bought a larger size Brooks Cadence trail runner which is working, but want to do the Alps where snow and ice will be present...not to mention the AT in winter..
im quite despite for ideas and wonder if other people experience the hot foot syndrome? I'm ditching the wool socks and trying thin thorlos, trying to wear my Lowa leather lined (avoiding hot GorTex). They are also larger than my normal size..
Someone told me to try a circular moleskin pad under the big toe.....she said people who have a longer second toe next to the big toe are prone to Morton's neuroma. Trying this too....has anyone found this to ease the pain?
