Looking for good insoles
Looking for some recommendations on good insoles, what works for you all. I've typically used the issued insoles, but I'm looking to get some better ones. There are just so many options, I'm looking for some recommendations to help narrow it down, from personal experience.
The two that I'm really looking at right at the moment are Superfeet brand insoles, and the new heat moldable insoles being sold at Bragg's clothing and sales (sorry, can't remember brand name off hand). But any recommendations are appreciated.

Superfeet or Sole Custom Footbeds. I am wearing the Soles right now.
It has made a bedroom slipper out of my boots.
Acid test will be at the SHOT Show.

I use Superfeet in my boots and in my running shoes. There is another medic here at SFQC PH-1A who uses the Sole Custom footbeds who swears by them. I have yet to try them so I will withhold my opinion until after such time.
Alot of the 18X's coming thru here have foot problems due to poor insole choice (Dr Scholls type cushions) or no insole being used, thanks to the DS's at the Ft Benning School for Boys. The situation seems to resolve itself with the use of a footbed.
Are you having problems Max?

Nope, not having any problems. Just looking for something to add an extra level of com fort. Biggest problem I have (which isn't even a problem in my book) is for about the first 1-3 miles of a ruck, my shin burns. It'll go away after a while, or if I run for a few hundred yards it goes away. But after that first instance, it never burns again no matter how far the movement. Like I said, not a problem, just a nuisance.
I could use the regular insoles, but why not be a little more comfortable if you can, right?
Take care.

And place your feet in the proper position in the process.
