#BigW fluffy slippers were warm on top but inadequately insulated from the cold of the tile floor.
(You can provide a thermodynamically more accurate description in the Replies for five bonus Pedant Points. Thinking correctly about physics is important.)
Insoles were cut from the fine Italian furniture leather that had previously graced a +$10,000 TV couch set* that got thrown out.
Some, but probably little, exaggeration here.

If and when my Spenco Polysorb insoles wear out, I'll try something similar from Sorbothane.

Can't wait for my Spenco Polysorb insoles to arrive. I'm on my feet all day at work, and these will be super comfy.
The Heavy Duty Insole provides the best combination of shock absorption and energy-return with targeted cushioning and support for standing or walking on hard surfaces. It offers comfort and fights fatigue to provide comfort. Polysorb polyurethane foam supports the arch and heel while a Spencore material heel pad cushions strike impact and reduces pressure. Compared to anti-fatigue mats, Spenco insoles provide heel-to-toe constant cushioning and support regardless of location. The Spenco Heavy Duty Insole will cushion, stabilize, and support your foot right out of the box. Available in seven sizes to ensure a proper fit, this insole is unconditionally guaranteed for one year. To use, simply remove the existing insole from your shoe and use it as a guide to trace and trim the replacement insole. Insert the insole into your shoe with the green side up. The green low-friction top cloth reduces friction while Silpure antimicrobial technology helps reduce odor. Hand wash in warm water and air dry as needed.
I just got my first custom orthodic #insoles to (hopefully) help with the #ChronicPain caused by my #CTEV
They feel weird and hard and like I am rocking backwards a bit when I walk.
Gonna take some getting use to, I guess.
Anyone else have experience with breaking these things in?
Further to my post that I am taking Merrell Moabs on both my upcoming FRC (and now Drakensberg) trips, it is also important to mention insoles.
I use custom footbeds from Sidas. I go to a local boot fitter, called Andar Sports, which has all the necessary equipment to do this properly.
Having custom footbeds, makes for better walking, more comfort and less strain. They may weigh a bit more that the stock soles, included with the boot, but shoe companies specialise in making shoes, not foot beds. After a long day, I really do not want to be slogging to a campsite or home in dead beat feet. Custom footbeds go a long way to prevent this.

Attached: 1 image The Salomon X-Ultra 4 GTX, lightweight & agile, has been my go-to for some years, but the sole durability is disappointing. Given the amount of sand & boulders on the FRC, I have opted to go with Merrell Moab 3 Mid GTX instead. I am hoping that the higher cut combined with lightweight gaiters will do a good job of keeping sand out and the soles should cope with the abrasive boulders. - https://www.merrell.com/US/en/moab-3-mid-gore-tex/52469M.html?dwvar_52469M_color=J135529#cgid=men-footwear-hiking&start=1 - https://www.salomon.com/en-us/shop/product/x-ultra-4-gtx.html#color=88809 #frc2024 #whatsinyourpack #hiking #merrell #salomon
