molly44 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 i have had the insoles as well, but i just couldn't walk right in them. so i continue to suffer with them. i cant say i know how to make the situation a bit better, ohh except the obvious advice the podiatrist gave me, loose weight, exercise and the normal spiel.

TheGuy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 My mother has the opposite "problem", she has extremely high insoles; when she was young, doctors proposed that she had it rectified, but as it would have required her to be off her feet for weeks, so she declined.

fruitisbad Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I used to wear lifts in my shoes when I was younger, I don't bother any more though. I probably should, when you look at my shoes the soles definately seem to wear very unevenly. Used to see a guy who practiced the alexander technique http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_technique but now I have terrible posture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatter Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 My mother has the oppsoste "problem", she has extremely high insoles; when she was young, doctors proposed that she had it rectified, but as it would have required her to be off her feet for weeks, so she declined. One of my sons has this, 'pes cavus' I think its called. He had surgery 3 years ago and it seems to have helped. His dad has the same problem, he also had surgery but still suffers badly- it's extremely painful. My other son has the opposite problem of flat feet as described by the op and wears the plastic insoles which help with his pain. I hope you find an answer, I've seen with my ex how frustrating and limiting it can be when you're in pain just being on your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillybabes Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Yes me, I have a large callous caused by this on the side of my foot by my little toe, and when I've been on my feet for ages it starts to hurt. Saw podiatrist in June who said she would refer me for physio so they could assess how I walk and so they could make me some insoles, Im still waiting to get an appointment I think they have forgotten.
