[QUOTE="Triple BB, post: 1700819, member: 947"] I have two pairs of Crispis that fit and walk extremely well. Picked up a pair of used but brand new Kennetreks that fit like crap. Had a hump in front of my right heel. A boot smith said it was glue or untrimmed leather and advised there was nothing he could do without taking the one apart. I took a piece of 2x2 wood and round off the end and then beat the crap out of the hump with a hammer. It flattened out. I then tried out several brands of high end insoles and found a pair of Keens that made the fit perfect. However, the heels seemed too high. Went to an orthotics place that does custom insoles. They said based on my arch, foot, etc., the heels were too high. The lady said its like you're walking in high heels. So I put the soles and heels in particular on my belt sander and took off 3/16" off the heel and leveled with the front. I then used my Dremel tool to carve the tread deeper for more depth. Now they fit and walk like my Crispis. If any Kennetrek rep's are reading this, yer quality control sucks... [/QUOTE]
