MM,
I've tried through a process of elimination to determine exactly what makes my feet blister and gash so easily. I've tried every trick that's been recommended to me, from sock choice to insole choice to vaseline, deoderant, gold bond... I've come to the conclusion that my flat feet force me to place more weight on my insole, which my feet slide againt because my feet are narrow and not properly held by the shoe. The sliding causes chafing and the chafing forms nice, big blisters (and one blood blister!) . Fortunatley, my feet are toughening up very quickly.

The Desert Acadia's seem my best bet. I've never heard of the altberg peacekeepers- something I should look into?

Thanks, all this advice is very helpful,

Solid
