Could anyone recommend me some good boots that have good arch support that wont give me blisters. I have flat feet (no arch at all) and regular shoes give me blisters and hurt my legs because they don’t support my non arched feet. I’ve had much better luck with boots but the brand I usually buy from Amazon (northwest) no longer make the boots I feel comfortable wearing. Hopefully this isn’t a stupid question sorry if it is -_-

    You want boots with replaceable footbeds, I personally recommend altberg https://www.altberg.co.uk

    There’s loads of orthotic footbeds you can buy, the superfeet green is what I use, but I don’t have flat feet. Since they’re replaceable you try a few different ones, I think you can even get custom ones on prescription.

    What are the boots for? When I did engineering field work in a previous life I swore by my Redbacks, they’re a popular choice with EMTs and firefighters here and they last forever.

    Check out supportive insoles too, super feet green are helpful for people who think they have flat feet but in reality have just always worn shitty shoes and haven’t exercised much. A really good pair of walking shoes with supportive insoles will help a ton if this is you. I didn’t have properly supportive shoes until I was maybe 25 and they made a world of difference in my life. I too was told I had flat feet, but it turns out that a lifetime of poor shoes will do that to you. Most of my knee and posture problems resolved themselves after I brought supportive shoes and was able to walk comfortably. Check out Ecco if you’re looking for good walking shoes, my pairs usually last a good decade or so.

    Do they have a Good Feet Store where you live? I have never used them myself. But some folks swear by 'em. I think they sell inserts, and they supposedly have a lot of knowledge and equipment for figuring out what you need.
