I bought them at REI. I've also seen them at other sporting goods stores such as Copeland Sports. Doing a search on the http://www.superfeet.com, they're available at dozens of places within 20 miles of my home.

Orthotics are basically insoles for your shoes. But they aren't meant to cushion the foot. They provide support for the arches and help the overall health of the foot by providing more support than a standard shoe. A lot of heel pain is caused by lack of arch support. The OTC products are usually made of hard plastic with a cloth lining.
Orthotics that are fitted by a podiatrist can cost several hundred dollars but are custom made to your foot. Actuallly, I've never seen the custom fits, so I don't know how they differ. The better OTC products will run $20 to $50 and work for many people. Others have to have the custom jobs. [Edited by BktBallRef on Jun 9th, 2005 at 08:35 PM] |

BktBallRef, and Camron - thanks. I checked out the SuperFeet website, and there are even a few dealers here in my neck of the woods in case I ever need to go that route.

The heel has been feeling great. Then I went out to the college soccer field and kicked the ball around with my son last night. He's working on getting ready for camp ad the Fall HS season. Today my heel feels like it's going to fall off. This getting old thing is not for sissies!

if you believe that, I've got some ocean front property in Oklahoma to sell real cheap. [/B][/QUOTE] Oklahoma actually has more shore line than both the east and west coasts combined. However, you won't see any surfer dudes or sharks and very little salt water. |
