[at-l] Superfeet

[KarenS62@aol.com (KarenS62@aol.com)]

I just got back from hiking only about 9 miles in two days on my new 
Superfeet insoles and I have bruising along my arches. I know they are 
supposed to take some getting used to but the trail was not tough by any 
means and 3-4 miles of today's hike was actually walking down a FS road to 
where my ride picked me up.  I walked with these same Superfeet about 4 miles 
on tougher terrain last weekend without this problem.

So, my question is, how long should these things take to get used to? I had 
under 30 pounds in my pack (probably closer to 20)  and the treadway was 
pretty benign.  I noticed the pain last night and then this morning my feet 
were very tender. 

On a hiker note, Chase and I saw Sloetoe off from Abingdon Gap this morning 
with food to last him til next Monday. The temps were almost mild last night, 
I don't think it even dropped below freezing, but they are predicting single 
digits in the next few days and possibly a decent snow storm tonight. I saw a 
couple grouse today and then the rain and sleet started and I didn't see any 
more wildlife until Chase showed up. We had a fun visit this afternoon - 
scoped out a neat little FS park complete with some scary cliffs, Quinceys 
and MRO - all the makings of a pleasant day.

Hope everyone has a nice holiday!  Chase, thanks again for the ride.
