Hello everyone, I have a question for the people that wear work boots every day. I’ve been dealing with foot problems for years and fatigue. I’ve always known I have flat feet, and tried different orthotics for years, it wasn’t till recently when I got really bad plantar fasciitis in my foot that I got scanned for custom orthotics, felt weird at first but didn’t mind too much how they felt in my sneakers but when I put them in my work boots I felt like I was walking right on the pavement, which didn’t seem right to me. The podiatrist suggested trying to put the custom orthotics in over the existing inserts, inside the boot to try to get the extra layer of thickness. That felt good for all but 10 mins, till I started feeling it up my legs and into my knees. So that’s not gonna work.

I currently wear Red Wing Traction Tred Lites.

But I wonder if there’s better boot out there naturally for us flat footed people and that can just wear the custom inserts in and not feel like I’m walking on the pavement, something maybe even lighter.

I can’t wear a lower profile boot, It has to be 6 inch with a composite toe

I also am a size 12 but with a narrow foot.

I want to build diorama, but I’m not sure what the right size scale is for what I want to achieve. I’m willing for my board to be atleast 2.5 feet maybe even 3 feet wide. I want to build a Manhattan block only one side with the side walk and road infront of the buildings I would probably do a mostly residential street with brownstones. Maybe a business on the corner. I’m not trying to do a whole block but maybe 8-10 buildings. But I want them to be detailed. If most brownstones are 3-4 stories tall I’m willing for the height to be atleast 1 foot tall. So I can have some good architectural detail. I would like to have some detailed vehicles parked on the street. With figures of people on the side walks. Can anyone steer me in the right direction for the right scale to achieve what I want or very close to it give or take alittle?
