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 -_-

    Is it super necessary that the boots themselves have good arch support? A shoe insert would be easier to work with, you just want to make sure the insole of the boot is removable before you buy it if you’re not comfortable trying to remove it yourself.

        I was going to suggest proper orthotics as well. Mine were expensive but have served me well for years. I move them into whatever shoes or boots I’m wearing. They don’t work with sandals sadly.

        My solution is good $100 custom inserts and Red Wings. Cleared up plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and a number of leg/back problems. I think the inserts were more important than the Red Wings, but they are a quality boot.

      Not necessarily at all as long as they last a while. Ones I have bought don’t tend to last very long (probably due to me being heavy). Could you recommend a good brand?
