I haven't had great luck in Columbia, SC finding a really good shoe fitter at any of the outfitters. Maybe there are some, but they are not working when I shop?
Anyway, while my current shoes (Merrill Moab Ventilators) work well for me in my size, my (soon to be) wife is having some issues. She has some NB 81 something or anothers (the newest model), and is having some blistering from the spot where the toebox meets the rest of the shoe. She's got wide feet, supinates and all kind of good feet stuff going on, and since she's new to hiking I want to make sure she is fitted by someone who really knows shoes and feet.
So, who is the boot guy or gal worth travelling for? I'll drive up to 8 hours if need be, but closer would be better of course. I'm more than willing to spend money for excellent service and a good product.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
