January 31, 2023175. The Importance of Proper Footwear
Dogs. Shotguns. Vests. Boots. No matter what, these subjects are constantly being discussed amongst bird hunters. However, theres more to the right boot than just the weight and comfort. The right boot actually helps you in the field! On a random drop in on Lathrop & Sons on a recent hunting trip, we lucked into a fun conversation on the importance of proper footwear that may provide a different outlook as to whats really important when selecting the next pair of boots!
Who are the Lathrop & Sons?
Theres more to it than just a boot being comfortable
The key element: Torsional Stability
Rocker: The heel higher w/ toe spring
Troubleshooting improper footwear to pain
The "correct" fit
The foot mapping process
Maintenance and care for the boots
A boot's "durability"
The footbeds
Footbeds in waders and rubber boots?
