Insole for Frye Engineer boot??

[holdencain]

Greetings,

I have this boot (Frye Rand Engineer):

Can anyone recommend a nice insole that might work in these? I just need a little more cushion/support, but don't want an insole that is too thick.

Thanks,
HC

Great boot! I was also considering one of these. Since 2011 they have a German retailer who stocks this particular model. ( www.classic-kontor.de) I was wondering how comfortable they are. I once tried a pair of RW Pecos which were a good fit but they kept dragging my socks down. After 5 steps I had to pull up my socks. Do you experience somthing similar with these?

Jan,
No problems w/ my socks falling down. I have a tendency to wear white socks (i know, i know...) and they can get a little bleeding of color onto them...but that is my fault! I like them a lot. My first pair of this style.

I have had a pair of these about 5 years and really like them. Boots slip in the heel when new until the boot takes the shape of the foot.---John

Hi, Holdencain:

I have the same boots. I put a Spenco insole in mine for extra cushion and they are just right for comfort now. Dr. Scholl's insoles are also good for cushion. My feet cannot take the pounding of shoes on concrete without some sort of cushion, so all my boots have some kind of insole added. They work fine. Hope this helps.

Just bought a pair myself...

The factory new pictures really don't do these boots justice. There are some pictures from marineabilly on the "engineer boots, harness boots..." thread. Just in case anyone hasn't seen them here it is...

HC, I'd go for an insole that is sculpted and gives support to the arch and heel of your foot. They cost a little more but I find them worth it and work well in boots like these. It all depends on how big the boots are on you as this type of insole take up more room than the flat cheaper ones.
