Im going absolutely mad about finding footwear that fit my feet. I was cursed with strangely shaped fit, wide in the front and narrow heels. So most shoes that fit well are usually way too loose in the heel and i get slippage.
The only trail shoe Ive ever owned thats fit well is the merrell Mesa Ventelator, but they dont make them anymore (theres a new style, but they dont fit my feet the same)
I leave for my thru-hike in 2 weeks, and i dont have shoes. This is a problem.
I thought REI was going to have me removed from the store yesterday when i walked in and asked to try on every sneaker they have. and to no avail, I am still shoeless.
Can anyone reccommend a good outfitter that can help me propperly fit a shoe? OR have any advice on how to make a shoe work for my feet.
Another problem Im having is, Id like to use Super Feet for the arch support, but when trying them with any shoe they make the fit even harder, especially in the heel where its raising it too high causing it to slip out as I walk.
any advice is appreciated very much.
