Hello, with the aim of keeping feet dry, for reducing both fungal infections and blisters, has anyone had experience with air mesh insoles?
Some of us here may have had them in Jungle Boots if you served in such an area. In Canada actually they are used inside the felt liner of Arctic issue boots, or used to be. This was so that your already wet, from sweat, wool sock wouldn’t also get your felt liner soaked.

They are hard, both in structure, and in being able to find. I found a modern version from Japan called MeshPro which seems to the the upscale version them. They can be cut to share, whereas the old ones could not.
Has anyone had recent (non-service LOL) experience with these?
Thoughts and opinions from those who have used them are welcome.
