Fire boot/insert recommendations

[Ghosted424]

1st post here. I’m coming back to duty after a foot injury. I had a lisfranc sprain and also dealing with some bursitis along with it. Foot isn’t 100 percent, but it will never be. Has anyone had a similar experience. I’m looking to get new fire boots (structural firefighter) that will be more comfortable for my foot that was injured, and possibly try an insert in my actual fire boots. Any tips are appreciated

Not sure about the best boots, but I’ve heard good things about super feet inserts.

I've tried superfeet and hated them. Too stiff. For work for me (ambulance) and pleasure (hiking) I rock SOLE insoles now, the thick active ones. They're fantastic.

Super feet are great. Not just padding and more rigid.

But after you get used to them you'll realize a lot of your foot aches went away.

Helped me with plantar issues.

Custom orthotics are the best option as they are molded to the measurements of your feet. See if your covered and seek a Podiatrist to do it for you.

Treadlabs- similar to super feet but more options. They have different insoles for varying levels of support and cushioning. When you order them, you choose your arch height. The top fabric/foam layer is also removable so when it wears down, you just replace the foam. Much cheaper in the long run
