altras and topos arent really for wide feet per se, but they have a wider than normal toe box to let your toes splay out a bit more than traditional shoes. the heel cup and midfoot are pretty normal width. my wife says they look like clown shoes because of this. if that not what you're after, salomons are also too narrow for me too, and i've found brooks shoes generally fit pretty well. la sportiva *can* work but they have sort of a range of widths in their line-up. ultra raptors and jackals might be worth checking out, bushidos less so. scarpa approach shoes also fit me really well but i don't have any experience with their trail runners. since you know NBs work for you, have you considered NB trail runners? https://www.newbalance.com/pd/fresh-foam-arishi-trail-gtx/MTARISG1-32899.html

Verman posted:The foam pillows are more comfortable but heavier and don't pack down as well but there's no better option for comfort. Poly stuff pillows kind of suck, they aren't very supportive and they don't compress down super small. Air pillows are great for weight and space savings, but don't really have the comfort of the foam pillows. They're usually better deflated a bit. these shoes look veeeeeerry interesting to me op

charliebravo77 posted:What are your issues? I've been using the og Delorme inreach se for years and actually just bought the mini 2 today to upgrade. So I have an inreach 2 mini. Seems mostly pretty good? I dont know if i'm using it wrong but i'm having a hell of a time with the mapshare. the ux/ui on the explore site seems weird and a bit counterintuitive, and things are not always where i'd expect. my biggest issue is i'm not sure what the correct workflow is for tracking a multi-day trip, although i spent some time walking around the neighborhood and think i have a better grasp on it now. basic things like controlling what gets shared on the mapshare site were not very intuitive, and the way i ended up finally getting it to not share my whole library seems like maybe I am doing it wrong. my goal is to be able to save and store my route on a multi-day trip. what i *think* i want to do is: - turn on tracking - do my hike - get to camp, stop tracking, convert the activity generated by my tracking to a track, power off device - wake up the next day, start tracking again, do the whole thing over when i was fiddling with the device earlier today, it seemed like if i started tracking, went on a hike, stopped tracking, and turned off the device, the tracking would still be on the mapshare site, but when I turned the device back on and started tracking again, the new tracking activity would overwrite the old track on the sharing site. maybe this is a result of having changed i've tried watching some videos and they helped, but i feel confused by managing the tracking aspect of the device in a way i usually do not feel confused by technology. i will try to go on another hike tomorrow and see if i am on the right track (heh) here. post hole digger fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Jul 7, 2022 |

BaseballPCHiker posted:Circling back on this I think all you need to do is: Yeah this seems to be the right idea thanks. I probably did something wrong when I was testing it out before but it seems to be working more reliably by not manually stopping tracking, using this basic workflow, + using auto-tracking

havin a horrible time breaking in some scarpa zodiacs right now. right foot fits perfect, left foot is possibly the least comfortable shoe or boot i've ever worn. no idea what the issue is and its really frustrating. i've noticed a little bit of heel slip but at the same time one or the other side of my arch feel like its getting crushed. it was the inner side saturday, today it was the outer side. tried a set of insoles that seemed to make it worse. maybe they'll need to go back to rei. been keeping the break in hikes short -- just 2 to 3 miles and ~400-500 ft elevation change, but could barely finish today. it seems like the lil bit of heel slip i'm having is causing my foot to flex more than the (very stiff) sole of the boot, and that might be causing some of the pain, then if i try to tighten the lacing, it just crushes the sides of my foot. i dunno. maybe just not the right boot for me. kind of a bummer, i've wanted a pair of these for years and like i said, right shoe fits basically perfect and i don't think my feet are all that different. i'm not really looking for anything i just needed somewhere to complain.

Morbus posted:FWIW I've had similar problems with a few different mountaineering boots. They are so stiff that, if the boot isn't an inherently good fit, there isn't really a whole lot you can do to truly fix it--especially considering that they *have* to fit quite a bit more tightly and with less open space than you can get away with in a hiking boot to do their job. As someone who has powered through a season with mountain boots that really didn't fit me well, I really recommend against trying too hard to make it work. thanks for this. yeah, the stiffness seems like the biggest issue with the fit being slightly off. you get a little more give with a hiking boot once it breaks in, but these aren't going to do that in the same way. theyll probably be due for a return.

Dick Burglar posted:I like simple and easy. Thanks. They were sold out on Costco, so I grabbed them on Amazon. $60 for a pair is a pretty agreeable price. ive been using a Skyscape Trekker for like 6 years and have no bad things to say about it. it takes me <5 minutes to set up and the fact its not dcf is a plus in my opinion.
