Long Story short, my newish boots have made me fully realize that I suffer from Morton's Neuroma. My last 15 mile trip with a heavy pack left my feet buzzing and 4 days later they are still buzzing. I am afraid I need some new hiking boots and some good insoles.
A google search shows that I am far from alone on this issue. Many folks suffer from it and find relief from the right combo of boots and inserts.
Hopefully some folks can recommend some boots for me to look at. My feet are your typical 9.5 US and it looks like I have a somewhat narrow heel but have a wide ball of the foot and toe area.
I currently use some Asolo TPS boots that are medium width. Great boots and I cringe at retiring them with 100 miles on em, but the pain and aftershock is too great. I am also worried that I will permanently damage the nerves so I need to switch out and bite the bullet.
If anyone knows some good wide toebox boots suited for backpacking that have a narrow type heel cup I would appreciate the info. Also, anyone who has dealt with Neuroma and kept doing what they do, their advice is appreciated.
I am pretty sad as the backcountry is really important to me and I have a bunch more to do this year. hopefully I can get the boots and insoles that keep me cranking.
Thanks in advance
