So I jumped on the bandwagon lay January and bought a saddle and platform. I practiced all spring and summer and became very efficient. Early bow season consists of 90+ degrees hunts , so a couple hour sits . Along comes winter and cooler temperatures which mean all day sits as I’m accustomed too. I’ve logged 44 sits , 39 of which in a saddle. I can’t do more than 2-3hrs without my feet starting to hurt.
So I sold both my saddles and platforms and went back to my lockon. No more pain even standing 90% of the time. After a few sits in the stand I ordered another saddle and platform. Bought different boots, insoles and listened to all the advice given on different forums. The efficiency of the saddle was to much to pass up. Now here I am 2 more sits in the saddle and my feet are killing me.
I’m a leaner/stander. 5’10” 210# fireman that’s in fairly decent shape. I’m a jogger and work out frequently. With right at a tear in the saddle I would say I’m in saddle shape.
I’m about to give up on the saddle! Any further advice ?
