TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

I’m looking at getting some insoles but want to make sure they’re okay getting wet.
Any recommendations?

Scholl and Sorbathane.
Scholl are available at most good chemists or pharmacists. Like Sorbathane there are different ones for different groups of people. ie sports, work, leisure etc
I used to buy Sorbathane at chemists but they are hard to come by now. They are online though.

Thanks.

Anyone have an opinion on the "Superfeet" that seem to get a lot of love in the US?

I won’t speak to their effectiveness but as far as water and Superfeet are concerned it’s a non issue. I use them
For all my running and for a time bushwalking, all in wet environments.
