I have used shed loads of different boots over the years and although I do not suffer from foot related issues, I can understand the issue, having spent a couple of days in a warm water bath trying to recover from frozen foot nerves following exposure to the elements, due to a mixture of crap boots and bad admin on my part (Although I was 17 at the time).  Since that time, I swore I'd pay attention to my feet and improve my admin. 

My recommendation for boots since that occassion, approx 20 years ago...oh, how time flies, has always been Meindl as they have worked for me in many countires and under severe stress, however, Altberg boots are fab too.....their bespoke service is awesome.....and well worth the saving for.  A good pair of boots can last years and years (Depending on a few factors) but my advice is treat your foot issues before purchasing a 'quality pair of boots'.   Truth be told, no matter how expensive or high quality your boots, you wont get very far with knackered feet.

Hi not strickly (well not at all) a manufacturer but Altimus offer aspecial fitting service specifically desighned for problem feet . Sorry im no omputer wizz or i would put a link but if you google Altimus on line you will get them easy enough.

I just saw your post because I have recently started suffering from bad bunion pain - seems a lot worse when I wear stiff boots compared to soft trainers. Did you have any luck in sorting your bunion problem?Could you lend me any advice?

I swear by Salomon boots.  As an ex ballet dancer i've got mammoth bunions and very wide balls of my feet, and skinny heels & ankles. Unfortunately most UK shops don't seem to carry ladies salomon leather boots, they've gone to fabric.  So you might need to hunt around a bit, or avoid the bog :)

Thanks for all your comments.  Plenty of suggestions for me to take shopping with me.

Happy Walking,

Andrea
