    Whoa!!! So now that I got my pack I will fill it with my items and take some walks and figure out if the shoes still work as well. A lot to consider, glad I have time and this forum to figure things out. Thank You.

    I myself also have custom orthotics and have found my current shoes work well with them. I will try the Trail Runner for comparison. Thank You.
