mountaineering boots for high arches
|
A friend of mine is looking to join my group for for a trip to Mt Rainier next year. And she has super high arches in her feet. I told her I would help do some research for what would work best for her. Do any of yall have any experience with this issue? Is a there a boot in particular that would work best or are insoles going to be the best route for her? We're also located in the south east, so going to our local REI or outdoor store to try on boots is kinda out of the question since we don't really have mountains here. Any advice is greatly appreciated. |

You may want to consider different insoles rather than specific boots. Superfeet Greens seem pretty popular for folks with higher arches. |

REI would probably order the boots for her to try on in store. |

Awesome thanks for the info! I was unsure of how to help her out on this issue. |

I have high arches and tend to like la Sportiva. superfeet green are great for high arches. I have had many pairs. Currently I have sportivas and super feet mint. |

Footwear manufacturers do not make boots / shoes with any kind of meaningful arch support for people with high arches. Inserts are going to be needed. What does she use in her other footwear? |

I have high arches, high insteps, semi-wide feet; super feet green or their winter insole works fine for me and I use boots built around higher volume lasts. |
