I have finally gotten Green Superfeet insoles and Cho-Pat knee wraps.

I tried to cut the Superfeet following the instructions. I then went on a walk in them, maybe 7-8 miles, all flat, except for perhaps 50' very step drop from an overpassing road to the road below. It all felt quite good until I came back. I started walking barefoot at home, and it turned out I had hot spots below the bones where the two big toes attach. Then I noticed a small crease in each of the two Superfeet insoles roughly in the right place, but they looked a bit too small compared to the size of the hot spots. I tried cutting the insoles more, but this did not seem to help, at least not much. I repeated the same walk, but now with thicker Smartwool socks, instead UltiMax CoolMax socks (which are only slightly thicker than regular white socks). I still got hot spots, but smaller ones. I do not have this problem with the original insoles, even with the CoolMax socks. Any advice on how to eliminate the creasers? Or do the Superfeet insoles have rougher surface than regular insoles? I have Lowa Renegades, btw. The Superfeet seem to be better on my knees.

I also got Cho-Pat knee wraps. Since my left knee (for which it is primarily intended) came out 16' (M/L junction) and right knee a bit more, I got one M and one L. I tried the M on my left knee. I think it helped the knee, but there was a bit of pressure on the back side, on the tendon there (or whatever that thing that moves is). I kind of got used to it after a while, but the next day that tendon felt a little funny. Any advice? What happens when these things get wet/soaked?

Many thanks.
