Hiking Boots?

[Janice]

I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis - already doing PT and have custom orthotics - and have found that the cushioning of Hoka Bondi is helping a little for daily use. But I'm having trouble finding a boot that will work well enough for upcoming backpacking trips. Can anyone suggest something based on these needs/wants?

• cushioned
• wide
• above the ankle
• waterproof

I've already tried Hoka Kaha, but even the men's are too narrow across my bunion and it doesn't come in wide. Hoka Speedgoat's no good also. Keen Targhee felt bad. Merrell Speed Solo MXD is better than others I've tried, but I'd love more cushion if such a shoe exists.

Any ideas???

lots of us (including me!) enjoy backpacking in the Altra Lone Peak high tops. I've never had a pair of the waterproof ones but they exist!
