Fitting: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Hapy feet = a happy hiker/hunter/woodsman/worker...Do you get blisters? Have you ever lost a toe nail because of how your boots fit? do you have "weird" feet? This is a demonstration of how to get the best fit from your hiking and outdoor footwear. This workshop introduces a revolutionary new way to fit footwear
by inspecting both the tops and bottoms of your feet, determining volume, selecting the proper sock, stabilizing foot beds, shoosing proper footwear for fit & usage, and how to modify as needed. An absolute must for those who work and play outside!
