you cant get anything better than the tuffs!!! but they got to be one size too big - they are even handy in a north wildwood flash flood! - I keep them in my truck at all times, along with an extra pair of inserts

I like a shoe that dries quickly. I wear Island Pros, with the ankle straps, not the thong sandals. not the best support for long days, but the grip is good and they dry quickly.

Anyone in the Hampton Roads area having foot pain trouble would be well advised to stop by Montagna's Shoe Store and talk to Lucian. I did a couple years ago, and after he checked out what I was wearing, and taking some measurements, he told me I had been wearing the wrong size shoes for years. He got me set up with the right size shoes and some inserts (I didn't need customs) to make them fit right. I think we went through about half a dozen sets of inserts until everything felt right. It made a huge difference in comfort, and my feet weren't aching when I got back from fishing after that.

Lucian's a great guy and will set you up right if you can get to his shop.

If you aren't near here, find someone like him in your area and you will not be disappointed.

Lots of people order supports through the mail where they are shipped a foam box, they step into the foam, then mail it back for the supports.

It's best to have the impressions taken by an experienced, well trained individual, then have them make the supports and bring the customer back for a fitting which often needs adjustments (raising, lowering the arch, offloading problem areas, etc.).

It's always best to have the shoes so the supports can be properly fitted, giving the best fit and comfort to the customers feet.

I find I really need to see the customers feet, how they stand, their gait when they walk, wear patterns on their current shoes, callouses, etc.; then we determine what type of materials are needed and what type of inserts to make.

BTW: My business is in Virginia Beach and I will be more than happy to help anyone who needs it. Just email, pm or call me direct and I will do what I can.

Like I said previously, not everyone needs Custom Supports, most do very well with Off The Shelf Inserts which are cost effective.
