I fully agree Dan, I was told long time ago, the best way to correct any foot problem is exercise the foot muscles buy picking things up with the toes. Marbles are great and they do work. I guess most don't want to take the time and we do live in a society where we want everything NOW. The quick fix!

It was so bad that he could hardly work. He found a podiatrist who sent him to Toys-R-Us to buy 200 marbles. He sits down and dumps the marbles out on the floor and picks them up one at a time with his toes and drops them into a container also on the ground. This simple exercise done daily has completely eliminated his debilitating foot and leg pain... Why don't some of you foot and leg pain sufferers try this and get back to us. It's a lot cheaper than inserts or new shoes.

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: http://www.podiatrychannel.com/orthotics/ 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 -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
