    I use insoles in some of my everyday shoes, so I tried some in my Keene Targhee IIs last fall and found I liked the factory insoles better. They just fit better...no low spots or high spots. I think it's going to be different from person to person and shoe to shoe.

    Those look nice. I've always worn trail running shoes when backpacking. I can't do boots, but these look almost like a hybrid that I just might have to try!

    Are you usig full length ones?

    The Superfeet have a solid rear heel cup that ensures it doesn't move at all.

    I just noticed they have a brand new one marketed to hikers. I usually wear the Green but I may have to try these.

    Just a bunch of old crap
    I'll check them out and try them in an older pair of hiking shoes that have been cast aside.

    I use Superfeet blue in just about every shoe I own, including my motocross boots. They provide a tight, supportive feel that stock soles cannot.

    Bug Nets:

    It doesn't appear to be directly addressed, only mentioned in time with tents that integrate it.......so what are folks running in terms of bug nets on their hammocks? I realize that several in here have hammocks with attached nets, but I'm looking for just the bug net itself. The hammock is question is a double.

    Do you recall the model name? I'm finding a few selections in the ENO line of bug nets. And is it side or bottom entry?

    I know some folks are loyal to the fancier American brands, but I really like this underquilt:
    $100 Snugpak Hammock Under Blanket, Insulated with Travelsoft Filling, Olive
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0167IYGH6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    It's not the lightest or smallest, but it's very manageable and has worked well for me thus far. I hammock camp primarily in the SE, so I'm not sure how well it would do down into freezing temps.
