I have a pair of Korkers Outfitters Convertible wading boots that I took on a fishing/backpacking trip last weekend. I had fished with them on several trips, and while they weren't as comfy as some shoes I own, they are wading boots, after all, so I didn't think anything of it. Well, with a 40 pound pack on, my feet hurt, badly, wearing these boots, and after taking a closer look, it appears they have next to zero arch support. So while the convertible hiking soles are nice for hoofing it out, the boots overall come at the expense of sore feet. So, I'm wondering if anyone has tried using inserts in their wading boots. In particular, I'm looking for something that will hold up to a season of neglect (wet/dry cycles) and that won't adversely degrade after getting wet a few times. Anyone recommend a particular brand of foot inserts to use, given the above criteria?
