Come on, be honest. You know damn well that most of the pain we umpires get on the field is felt somewhere other than the foot

A co-worker of mine is retiring at the end of the month. He called me up with a question about his laptop, and during the course of conversation, said to me, "Dave, if I could give you one piece of advice, don't ever retire. It's a pain in the a$$."

I immediately responded, "Ken, if that's the case, you're doing it wrong."

Yeah, but I know how to deal with those pains

Before I got two sentences out of my mouth, the Dr. said "plantar fasciitis".

Among other things, I'll be checking closer to make sure the shoes are fitting properly and paying more attention to arch support.

I've bought all my shoes on line before, but I think I'll be a good shopper and make sure I have a good fit before I go for it.
I don't anticipate much problem with the base shoes.
Don't know where to walk in for plate shoes except Honigs in Ft. Lauderdale - about 2.5 hrs away...

Thanks for the update. Now I have an idea on what I am dealing with as well.

I had plantar fasciitus but my pain was in my heel. I had cortizone injections but that only took care of the problem for 2 weeks. I have high arches and bought some orthodics and the problem went completely away within 3 days. Dave

I did that, but my mother in law is still here.

However, it is strange how the foot can be the origin of a lot of pain and not always in the foot.

According to my Doctor, mostly the pain is in the heel, but my pain in the ball of the foot is also symptomatic.

Cortizone is a possible course of action, but first I'm concentrating on arch shoes that fit properly, support, and ice...

I went out and replaced my 11EE with 11EEEE, going to a medical orthonic place to look for the right arch support.

I'm embarressed to admit that I hadn't paid that much attention to my feet before, but I just went out for a walk in my EEEEs and the difference is amazing...

Not a problem. Tomorrow night I'll be on the mall downtown, drinking some Dog Fish Head and Twin Lakes microbrews watching Guitar Shorty play.

I did the same thing. The pain's not 100% gone, but I can call games all day now.

Honig’s in Ft. Lauderdale May have closed. They are under new ownership and have seen reports that they are closing all location except main office which I believe moved to Colorado..

Go to a real shoe store, not shoe carnival and get fitted for the correct size, double check on the width. Then you can purchase online. Find a Stride Right or something to that nature.
