No worries. I think I just should've worn them barefoot in the house for a week before I took them outside with the Spencos. Plus, I'm barefoot 5-8 hours a day, so it's always a shock.

Your feets are spoiled from running around nekid so much.

I like flip flops or slippers around the house or to feed the birds in the morning, but much more than that and boots go on. Too much pointy, stabby pokey stuff around here. Little prickly pear cactus, the needle-like tumbleweed thorns that seem to find a way into my feet and other assorted nasties have made me wear my loggers or smoke jumpers even with shorts. And bugs. Like scorpions and black widows. Rattly snakes. Boots. Romp-em, stomp-em, make-em flat and dead boots. Havent stomped any snakes, but getting hit in a boot seems preferable to flip flops or anything light weight.

You're barefoot that often and long and need insoles? I know myself and a few others who've gone to minimalist shoes have been able to lose the insoles all together.

I've never needed insoles before, but there is a rise and the cork, although terrific for all terrains so far, is not cushiony nor is the interior of the shoe. I too wear minimalist shoes when it comes to sneakers.

I've been wearing mine with medium wool socks and that seems to help. Sure they don't have much cushion, but neither do my dress shoes. I already have Matterhorns for stomping and Gore Tex Merrels for lighter duty. Has the footbed molded to the shape of your foot yet?

Not the Spencos. I assume that's what you're referring to, right?

In case I've confused us more, the Spencos nor the shoe has conformed yet. I'm too light? Lol!

After a good bit of research on that subject, I find myself really, really wanting to try out a pair of minimalist type boots, and have settled on trying a pair of double soled Arrow moccasins. Anyone ever tried anything like that?

Ok just curious. My boots have already started conforming to my feet after less than a week. The real challenge was sizing them. I had to order 8 different pairs before I got a set that fit correctly (ended up 2 whole sizes smaller and 2E). Luckily, I didn't give up cuz I dig these for a casual boot.

On a serious note, how'd you break them in? I just wore them in. Like I said, the everything is wearing in fine other than the inside/insole.
