For what it's worth to all those SF prospects out there, I have been training for months using Army issue Altamas with no insoles or special work done to them and have not had a problem, minus a blister or two. My ruck times are down in the high 13's to low 14's. I just recently bought Sole footbeds and would highly recommend them...AFTER you toughen your feet using what the Army has given you. IMHO, it's better to bust your a$$, work through the pain, and earn what you get than to spend all your time on here digging for another way to make it hurt less when it happens. As a friend of mine once told me, You can't train for a kick in the balls and the weight only gets heavier as you go.
