First off, I hope this thread (or something similar) hasn't been posted too many times, but I beleive this is particular enough to myself to warrant a new thread.
Secondly, although I've been issued a chit to switch over to the new GP boots, I havn't got one to allow myself my own personal choice of boots but I will work on that. I'm not a bitcher or whiner but my lower legs just don't want to sort themselves out despite stretching, orthotics, and Viabrim soles. I have very short legs and anything above a moderate march pace causes my legs to cramp up with shin splints instantly from stretching it out. So, I figure since I haven't read a whole lot of good about any of the boots we're issued, that I'd try and get myself into a good aftermarket pair and see if that helps before my DP1 course starts in the next few weeks. If the best in boots doesn't help any, oh well, i tried.
I would really rather not risk buy boots mail order without trying them on so I was hoping there might be places close to Meaford (I consider the GTA to be close) where I can go and maybe try out a set of Danners, SWATs, or Strykers.
Any suggestions?
