Happy Feet, Happy Training.

CurrexSole RunPro Insoles Medium Arch

I was recently chosen to test out a pair of Insoles from Insoles and Beyond. As the New Year just past I set a goal to start living healthier by exercising and eating better. I picked up a new pair of running shoes and they felt great. I walked and jogged about 20 miles or so before getting my new insoles. At this point my shoes felt great or so I thought. My feet would have a slight tingle after a 5 mile plus jog. I went to the Insoles and Beyond website (insolesandbeyond.com). I picked the currexSole RunPro Medium Arch support. They were shipped out and at my house in what seemed like record time. When I pulled the insoles out of the package, I gave them my little one, two, three, bend, flex and twist test. The insoles felt great in my hands and passed my test. At this point I was excited and could not wait to get them in my shoes. I went and gathered my supplies of scissors, a sharpie and flat piece of cardboard for a surface to trace my current insoles onto the new ones. Once I pulled out my old insoles I noticed they were the exact size as the new insoles. I wear a size 12 and the new insoles fit perfectly in my shoes. At first never having an arch support before the insoles felt different but it was not uncomfortable. After my first jog around the block I was sold. My shoes were comfortable before, now they are extremely comfortable. After logging about 50 miles so far I can say I am very happy and my feet are very happy to be out pounding the pavement. I don’t notice the arch support at all and love the extra support under my feet for the hard asphalt.  Also the tingle is gone when I get back home. It makes me just want to keep going down the trail. I will be getting a few more pairs for my gym shoes to my hunting boots.

Perfect fit in my running shoes.

The Insoles are priced 49.95. That might seem a bit high but when it comes to your feet remember you get what you pay for.

Im back, After a long break from the blog I'm back. I have been working on a lot of projects from BBQ to The Elk Experiment. I partnered with Real Steel Pits this year and have been loving my custom pit. It smokes meat like no other, if you are looking for a new pit check them out. I have also started a documentary on my journey from an average beer drinker to a backpacking Elk hunter. I started The Elk Experiment January 6. I will be filming my adventure every step of the way. I am really looking forward to hunting in 2014. I have trips planned to Colorado for Elk, Bear, and possibly Deer. I will also be going to Missouri to hunt a 300 acre family plot. I will be traveling out there prior to season to build a food plot and set cams to see what bucks are on the land. I also have my local California hunts I am planning this year. I have to figure out what tags I am going to apply for. I am thinking of D-14 so we can back pack into San Gorgonio.  I am also going back and forth on Big Pine (A-17) and the Angeles National Forest (A-31). I also have a great chance at some local wild pigs in an undisclosed location. Plus spring turkey is just around the corner I am feeling that 2014 will be a great year. We will doing a lot more gear reviews, insight and all other things hunting, fishing and fitness. So keep checking in and watch this little blog grow.
