I agree with ref18. Find a podiatrist in your area and get some custom made orthotics..........I had plantar fascitis and after having them made I am pain free......I have worn both the NW 608 and the Converse Whistle.

New Balance 609's
 

Just found New Balance 609's on roadrunnersports.com for $39.99 (on clearance). Free shipping also.

I'm also a runner and have always used New Balance shoes for that, so would highly recommend them for running the court.

Custom orthotics are great. But they're also expensive, running $200 to $500 for a pair. Many insurance plans don't cover them, plus many insurance companies require that your MD refer you to the podiztrist.

Spenco inserts are a viable alternative.

when your feet, back or neck start hurting (providing it's not an overexertion issue) then usually it's a sign that your shoes have broke down. my shoes never see the outdoors and look practically brand new but when the support and shock absorbtion has broken down, then it's time for some new kicks. having 2 pair will last you more than twice as long as you will give 1 pair a day off to airiate and they aren't constantly being mashed down. Also, I couldn't do this without orthodics. Don't just look for a soft cushy feel, you need support and shock absorbtion. Orthodics will provide full contact support so your foot is not flexing and will help keep you from developing other foot problems.

No, I do not sell orthodics but I swear by them.

Yes they can be pricy sometimes...........I get mine for about 175.00 and fortunately my insurance pays for 1 pair in each 12 month period. Just got my 3rd pair and they will stay in my officiating bag all season long. But you are correct the spenco is a great alternative.....

They are expensive, but worth it. They are better than Spenco or Dr. Scholls. Don't mess around with foot pain. Go see a podiatrist ASAP. If he recommends customorthodics--get them. You won't regret it.

Actually, my podiatrist recommended the Spencos. Even told me where I could pick them up! :D
