Spenco Day Hiker Insoles : A Shoe-In for Comfort

I'm five months pregnant, so the arrival of my new Specno Day Hiker footbeds heralded the possibility of getting more milage of my hikes. Acatually, I was just happy to have more comfort for walking!

I promptly slid the insoles into my Vans slip-on sneakers, and grabbed the dog for a walk. I don't know who loved the insoles more - me or Dexter. They were very comfortabale, even in completely unbefitting shoes, and kept us walking far beyond the usual round-the-block route. Supportive and cushy, the insoles made my feet feel light (a feat, of late) and springy.

The following weekend, I wore the insoles on a hike. With heavay boots, I really appreciated the wicking properties; my feet felt drier than usual. I noticed the insoles most walking up inclines and steep, sandy terrain. Thanks to the deep heel cup and arch support, my feet felt stable in my boots. I felt steadier than usual on the descent down slightly rocky terrain--even with a protruding belly threatening to offset my balance.

Bottom LIne: The Spenco Outdoor Series Day Hiker insoles have helped my feet stay comfortable on many trail walks and hikes. The Cool Dry wicking system and the support set them apart from your average insole. Available in men's, women's, and children's sizes.- -N. P. (Oct '06)
