Personal help

Looking at Gray's option they don't seem any more supportive than the ones I suggested, sorry Gray. Being associated with the Orthopaedic,Orthotic trade, I have seen many claims of a 'solution' supplied to a patient which turn out to be little more than a basic gel insole that will do nothing for most foot conditions.  In an ideal world, you would need to see a podiatrist who will assess your condition and advise accordingly, but it is very expensive!

 

However, try and see how you get on, Orthotics aren't one size fits all, but you can get lucky.

I buy these Rick

I've tried a few different ones but I find these best, just trim to fit

 

Let us know how you get on!

Top stuff, Keith. The best money I've ever spent.

Got them yesterday and they've made a massive difference, already.

I still have some pain but I suspect it's residual and it's bearable. I reckon it'll have totally gone by Monday.

These insoles have made my posture much better; I feel taller and my legs seem to stand better when working.

Took a couple of hours to get used to the feel of them under my feet.

Thanks, everyone, for all of your help.

Rick.

Any trainer with an Orthotic insole including an arch support will improve your comfort no end

I bought a new coat - idea is to take more walks

This condition can be due to lack of exercise, sitting a lot or standing all day, the tendons shorten and it can be real painful, especially in the morning as your tendons will tighten overnight naturally.  When I was repairing shoes, my feet especially my heels, were really painful first thing and i never knew why, until I saw a physiotherapist who explained why.

I now use Orthotic insoles bought from Amazon and they work a treat, sitting down a lot is now the cause though   Stretch your calves as often as possible, tip toe on the stairs is a good exercise, but make sure you drop right down as part of the movement, if that makes sense?

 

Good luck!

They've already made a massive difference as I am now mostly pain free. I know they work because I put a pair of shoes on last week that didn't have the insoles in and at the end of the day the pain had fully returned.

[BIG AL PRICE]

i had this from standing constantly while working as a doorman for 18 years(although i wasnt stood for the full 18 years,i did sleep & sit in between shifts...)i bought special plantar heel insoles from Boots for about £15 a pair & swap into each pair of shoes/boots about 4 years ago & never had a problem since.
