At the ten mile point of a hike, my feet are really sore. They also swell up. Taking my boots and socks off every 3 or 4 miles and putting them on a cold rock reduces the swelling (for awhile), but the soreness is still there. I've tried sole inserts (can't remember the brands) and they help some but then the swelling in combination with the inserts causes the boots to be too tight.
Right now, I am thinking that larger sized boots with a better insert might be the solution. I am currently using Salomon boots. They are 1/2 size larger than my street shoes.
Any solutions, recommendations for sole inserts, field remedies or whatever would be appreciated.
