Are These Insoles Worth $300? SheepFeet 2 Year Field Tested Review

Ойын-сауық

I have spent a lifetime hiking in the mountains, and I also have Morton’s Neuroma which has led me to be very particular about both my boot choice and the insoles I use inside them. I have tried multiple custom orthotics and was always intrigued but sceptical about Sheepfeet. I have now run my custom insoles from Sheepfeet for the last two years and felt compelled to post a review. I hope this review is helpful.

    Dude! I appreciate that you're so perceptive of hunters and outdoorsman of our wallets and the level of practicality Vs. trying to sell stuff we don't need, but could have someday. Thanks for making me feel good and honest about my purchases and keeping my family/finances in mind.

    I've Hiked over 3,500 miles in Sheepfeet. (Pacific Crest Trail and many many hunts and back packing trips) I also have Morton Nuroma on my left foot. I can say first hand that they are amazing and worth the money. I have sent the insoles in for refurbishment once and the customer service is OUFSTANDING. P.S I used my PCA account for the insoles. Great Review!

    Great review. I'm 57 years old and have worn orthotics for many years. I have flat feet and have had two neuromas cut out of my right foot. Arch supports are very important and a necessity to me. I bought a pair of SheepFeet and in my opinion, they are not worth the money. I feel a pair of PowerStep inserts are just as good and they have multiple types. I finally found a great place to make my custom orthotics, which provide the best support I have found. Unfortunately, they are expensive, but my feet need them. As you said, the inserts in most boots today are crap and for most people, the good over-the-counter brands under $60 will work well.

    I first got sheep feet 3 years ago because I was having plantar fasciitis issues (my health insurance paid for them) I got one with and without the heel stablizer. I love running them without heel stabilizer and haven’t had any feet issues since I started using them.

    Thanks for the analysis, Jay! It seems that there is often a premium in price as soon as a brand makes a product specifically for hunters. I've found that doing foot strengthening exercises and using "barefoot" shoes during my workouts helps a lot in getting my feet/ankles/calves ready for long hikes in the backcountry.

    Tried a pair of sheepfeet and did 2 revisions and couldnt get my R foot to feel good with them so they refunded me. They were comfortable when standing/walking but at rest they pressed on my arch weird and cause significant discomfort even after 25-30 hrs of wear-time. Tried multiple lacing techniques with no change. Switched to Superfeet Adapt Hike Max and feel fantastic and got a set all 3 sets of my boots including my workboots where I stand 10-14hrs a day.

    And other than the heel pocket the boots fit fine? I find some people are wearing boots 1/2 size too small.

    I’ve purchased two pairs of sheep feet and they didn’t compare to the fit of the local custom orthotics. Sheep feet didn’t do a good job and molding the plastic piece to fit the arch.
