Anybody ever tried the High Country Synergy insoles sold by Lathrop & Sons? I have a pair of Mendle boots I purchased in 2013 ($240) for a hunt in Montana. They are my go to boots now and I have noticed that my feet hurt a little now after wearing them all day. They are not nearly wore out. The Synergy insoles are expensive ($55.00) but I would pay that if I thought they would get me two more years out of this boot. Have also looked at Superfeet insoles ($45). Any experiencs or input appreciated.

I suppose that you already know that you can replace the stock footbeds for your Mendle boots; just order the right size from Cabela's.
I replaced mine after 3 years and have been totally satisfied with them. I think they're around $22. If you aren't completly satisfied with the stock beds, then the Synergy might be worth a try. Sorry, but no experience with them.

RICMIC,
I called myself looking for originals and didn't locate them. I will look again.

I have a pair of synergy footbeds and I love them, my feet have never felt better well worth the money in my opinion. I'm on my third year with them and they still feel great!

I have the synergy in my Lowa's but only have about 15 miles on them with nothing heavy on my back or any long hikes yet. They do seem to be very comfortable so far. Mark (25contender) uses them - maybe he will chime in.

I have been using the Senergy insoles for a few years now and love them. I just got a set of Spenco® PolySorb® Cross Trainer Insoles locally and thought I would try them locally here to see how the compare. I will let you know once I give them a try. Like others have said I would highly recommend the Senergys for your boots. The one thing I really like about the Senergys is since they are a gel type insert they keep your foot from sliding around in your boot . That in itself will limit the chance of getting blisters especially if the boot is a good fit.

I have those inserts in both my hanwags. Maybe it's been too long where I didn't have them but they're nothing too special. Probably get dr sholls gellin insets and be just as good. What do I know since I've always had them. Pretty expensive

I have the synergy foot beds in my Kennetrek mountain extreme 400's. I have been doing training hikes with a 50+ pound pack and they are awesome so far! I will probably buy another pair for my daily work boots.

I have a bit of plantar fasciitis in my left foot and have found the Air Plus plantar insoles to be wonderful. They have a harder material in the arch. My feet at work no longer hurt and general pain had gone away. My left foot still hurts for a second when I get out of bed. I'm thinking about pulling the synergies out of my hunting boots and putting these in. Hard to beat for about $9. FWIW

I also have a touch of plantar fascitis and went to a local shoe store that claims to specialize in helping people with foot pain. They introduced me to a product line from a company named Aetrex and they are great. You can order inserts to also correct for pronation and supination if your feet roll in or out. I have flat feet and I pronate and these inserts help a lot. That being said I just ordered a pair of boot from Lathrop and sons and included a set of Synergy foot beds. I should have them in hand early next week for a comparison.
