I've been experimenting with shoe inserts with metatarsal pads. My boots are Merrells. I've been experimenting with several brands, but I consistently find the Merrells to fit my foot better than any other, and they seem to be a very good shoe/boot. But when I tried their inserts with the metatarsal pads, I felt the pads were situated more forward of where they should be for my foot.
Then I found some New Balance inserts (with arch support and metatarsal pad for plantar fasciitis) at my local New Balance store: http://www.amazon.com/Adults-New-Balanc ... -2-catcorr I really believe they got it right for me, AND... They're not gel. So they'll be able to go on the plane with me.
And I'm going to match them with some silk inner socks and Thorlos walking socks.
This is a foot revelation for me, and I haven't even left yet.
It's been a long search, and I thought this was exciting, so I'm sharing.
