An interesting story, one of the guys in work told me, of all the shoes and boots I’ve worn, the best for my aching feet were our blast furnace boots, I must admit I was surprised, at the time I had no foot trouble, the interesting thing about them was that they have wooden soles, or they used to, aka clogs, they didn’t look like clogs, just boots with a thicker sole, you could walk on red hot floor plate, scary in itself, without too much worry, I don’t know the significance of the sole but he swore by them, so much so he wore them outside work, hard to get used to but great for feet was his theory, I would think soft was really the right way to go but maybe just maybe a stiff firm inner might be better, I suppose feet are designed for hard surface use, it’s definitely something I’ve been thinking about, why do people swear by these scholl clog things?, they sell a lot of them over here, it puzzles me, I have had gel inserts and to be honest, waste of time perhaps he was right
