[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 180925, member: 6467"] [b]Re: Buying New Hillwalking Boots[/b] Go to an outdoor store which offers boot fittings. I went to one in the centre of Norwich near the market (Cotswold Outdoors) which was excellent. A proper fitting can take up to an hour. This was also free (Link removed. Google Company name) They diagnosed that I was wearing a size larger than I needed because my feet needed more support and were spreading. They then fitted me with what they considered the correct size, including an extra supporting insole. The combination of boots (Scarpa, I think) and insole was eyewateringly expensive so I went away to think about it then saw some other boots in another shop in the sale for 50 quid and bought those instead. Although I do still feel a touch of guilt :-) HTH LGC [/QUOTE]
