Returned from a Ten day safari in South Africa using my Courtney selous boots. Before the hunt I wore them at work for 2 weeks to break them in, I work as a high voltage linemen and we are hard on boots so two weeks was plenty of a break in period. Absolutely loved the boots but halfway through my hunt the right boot insole started to slide up to the point it was only halfway on my foot. About 10 times a day I would have to take my shoe off and reposition the insole. Upon returning from my hunt I threw the insoles away. Has anyone had the same issue or can recommend different insole for the boots?
 
I use powerstep insoles in all of my boots to include my Courtneys. Depending on amount of use, even the best insoles last 6 months to a year max.
 
Agreed. A good gel insole with some heel location makes a huge difference with Courteneys.
 
Started out using the Courtney insoles with my Selous. Was too warm for me, as I use them to hunt dove here in S. Texas as well. Ditched the insoles several years ago and went with the hard leather bottom. Took a while to get used to it but really comfortable now. Cool and lots of room.

Not waterproof, however.

I do the same with my Safari’s.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
