Anyone have a recommendation for some good hiking boots for that have the arch support for over pronated feet? I use superset black insoles in my everyday tennis shoes, but would like to find a boot where I don't have to use the insoles. |

I would recommend reaching out to both Nicks and White's Boots in Spokane WA. They can make you a custom set and I know at least Nic makes them that are specialized for your condition. I just got back a rebuilt pair of white that I just purchased back in 2004 that I previously had resold a couple of times and they're like new so the cost upfront is high. I personally believe the long term they're the cheapest boots you can buy.. |

Jim Green Razorbacks work well for me. They are a traditional double lasted, Goodyear welted hiking boot with a firm mid sole and strong heel counter, all of which will help with overpronation. They can be had in a softer rubber sole or a stiffer Goodyear lug sole, which again helps with overpronation. They also have a wide toe box and are high arch friendly and well suited to an orthotic insole, especially if you go up 1/2 to 1 size. |

I feel for y'all with flat feet, and I'm very curious about the efficacy, but have you ever worked on strengthening your arches? I do an exercise once or twice a week when I'm in the shower. |

Contact boot makers and ask if they have anything for it. Might have to go customs like the Nicks or White's mentioned. Custom orthotics might be an answer as well. And it shouldn't be as difficult as some say since overpronation is a lot more common than underpronation. |
