Montrail Namche Hiking Boot - Women's
Not as cushioned as some Montrails
By sporkbunny June 22, 2010
I special ordered a pair in my size and was thrilled when they arrived, only to develop blisters and sore spots over and over even after varying socks, insoles, etc. The inside of this shoe has very little padding and feels kind of "hard" all over inside... resulting in footsoreness like I've never experienced in Montrails before. My feet are boney and narrow and they slide all over the place inside these shoes, especially down to the toes on the downhill, no matter how thick my socks are, etc. I also tried a bunch of different lacing strategies to tighten and the arch and hold my feet in place and still no dice, it would just end up pinching my ankle and bruising the top of my foot. Something just isn't right between the interior space of the shoe and the ankle. Too bad, I really like the design and materials!
