1000 mile boot question

Hello I am new here, I have Danner mountain lights and redwing gt's and both are useless to me, very uncomfortable. I'd like to try one more time and pick up a pair of wolverines, my question is do the wolverine originals have the soft leather padded footbeds? the gentleman travelers have a hard leather and make my knees and hip all messed up. i tried a variant of the 1000 mile boots for size, but didnt get to try the originals, id like to make sure they will be as comfortable before i dropped another 320 bucks on a pair of boots.

 

 

also if anyone is interested I have a new pair of danner mountain lights size 10 and a 4 month old pair of red wing gt's size 8 for sale, 220 shipped for each.

I've got the Wolverine Addison's and 2 pairs of RW GT's. The Wolverines don't come with a padded insole. Why not just throw in a padded insole? That's what I've done with all three of these boots and I can wear each of them all day.

my right foot is highly arched and adding insoles takes up too much space, on the redwings both feet were very tight with insoles. im dissapointed that the wolverines dont have padded insoles, i tried these http://www.wolverine.com/us/1000mile/images/gentry/gentry_landing_banner.jpg and they were fully lined with leather padding, but most importantly the foot beds were cushioned with leather. they are ugly but would make awesome upland hunting boots. if i can actually find a store that carries 1000 mile boots i might try and add insoles and see if they fit.
