Soft Insoles for Dress Boots

Hello

I need some advice with regards to getting some insoles for my boots.

I own a couple of dress boots (harrys of london chelsea/Loake Anglesey derby) and while travelling to cold wet places like London where I walk about 15km every day on concrete, the soles of my feet become really sore.

I see hundreds of brands and types of insoles on Amazon/Ebay, can anyone vouch for one in particular? I need one thats good for all day walking while being relatively thin in order not to cause any fit issues with the boots.

Thanks

If you walk 15km daily have you thought maybe dress boots are not the best shoes for those days? Some lightweight rubber sole dress shoes would be better.

This is a question about comfort. There are far too many variables than I’d like to describe related to this question.

one solution is what is alluded to above. Over the counter orthotics are another option.

I would love to find a chelsea boot with a vibram gumlite or vlite sole, if you know of any please point me in the right direction. Simple shoes wont do it as it get very cold and very wet.

Does any know of any chelsea boots with vibram gumlite or vlite soles? I heard these can be very soft and cushiony almost sneaker like.
