Threw on my Lowa Camino GTX for WA opener. Haven't worn them in a while. Since last fall. Probably did 6-7 miles just on locked gate, hard packed road. My feet HURT. These are boots I've had for years. As I was pounding out mileage back to the gate, I recall my feet ache every time I use them.
Ever do a bar crawl in a pair of clapped out, $7 Flip Flops, get shithoused and walk to some joint that sells garbage at 0300 that you for sure shouldn't eat, then walk home and wake up with feet that scream "WTF did we do last night"?
Im 48 and my ankles and joints squeak. Stuff always hurts the next day. Part of life.
The fit on these boots is fine...I think. Toes don't rub. No blisters. No hot spots. Just the ENTIRE foot aches. I don't think boots are supposed to feel "Cushion" like a running shoe...but these felt like I was walking barefoot on cement all day.
Is that my feet not being "in shape" for boots and hardback? Or is that my feet telling me "Bro...there are better options out there for us"?
I wear La Sportiva or Salmon running/hiking shoes most of the time/all summer. Danner Acadias at work, but I am desk bound and not pounding out miles at this stage in my career.
Do I need to get some Cam Haynes "Fat Bob" Under Armor boots and a Keep Hammering flat brim?
