On this episode, Adam goes solo and digs into how we optimize foot, ankle, and lower leg function for both day-to-day life and the backcountry, how this can impact boot selection, and how and when to go about looking into insoles and orthotics...and when not to bother. This is the deepest dive to date on this topic and, as the show title suggests, you need to be careful dropping hundreds of dollars on any insole or similar product that may not be what you think it is or do what you think they should do. --------------------------- DEALS & OFFERS: Use Code BTKSHIP to get free shipping on the ultra-lightweight and super versatile ASCENT TRIPOD or, any other Spartan Precision Equipment products and accessories, at www.javelinbipod.com.
