I have been walking/hiking all spring and summer to be in shape for my first elk hunt.
After about 2.5 to 3 miles of continous walking , the soles of my feet, especially the forefoot area are burning.
It doesn't matter if I am wearing Boots or Running shoes, With pack or without. Med hiking socks, heavy hiking, or sport socks, doesn't matter. I am mostly walking on the road, but have the same issue on trails.
I don't really get blisters, they just hurt. My feet tend to be dry and peeling and have been for years..
I got an email from kennetrek the other day about a sale on replaceable insoles. Do you think these will help? I can get $10 cushion insoles from sports academy, not sure of the difference other than arch support which I don't need.
Thanks for any suggestions
