Orthotics helped me immensely, too!
Now I walk straight, with much less pain. If I could lose 100 pounds,
I`d really be fine!

I suffered all my life trying to find shoes that I could wear
comfortably. I also bought every type arch support available. About
ten years ago I was talking with a person that had the same problem
and she said the cure for her was orthotics. I went to a podiatrist
and he made a set for me and I tell you it was a Godsend!!! I cannot
put shoes on without inserting them. Without them I don't last more
than a few minutes....with them I can walk and stand for hours.
They cost me a couple of hundred dollars and they're worth every
cent. They work! <
Thanks Trem, I had heard the term but never looked into it, so I found
this:

The illustrations seem to show exactly what my problem is. I'll have
to dig deeper into this. Sheesh, I never knew about this!
I'm a firm believer in spending a few more bucks to head off larger
expenses (like buying shoes all the time). I'm really sick and tired
of this, and maybe it could save me money and trouble.
I just today replaced a set of insoles in a very nice and good looking
set of Rockports, but I saw the wear pattern on the bottom beginning
to show, and I know they will soon meet the usual fate. Next in line
for insole replacement are 3 sets of RedWings ($$$!!!). Maybe custom
orthotics will fix this.
I just counted up $1000 in shoes & boots I own right now, because I
can't wear one pair of shoes more than twice a week. Before my
"miracle" started, 5-1/2 years ago, I had $1500 worth of shoes/boots,
changed shoes 4 times daily, and had to soak my feet and/or walk on
massaging sandals or pea gravel every night. I tell ya it's no way to
live.
Thanks again, DB
