I've also just got orthotics made, after realising that supportive running shoes were doing me lots of favours (and made the world of difference to injuries) but I was still too injury prone to make increasing mileage easy. I'm hoping to go down a shoe support level now, but will be sticking with Brooks or Mizuno for sure :-)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735335637183041826.post-68493227942761512692013-05-29T22:51:49.664-07:002013-05-29T22:51:49.664-07:00Ha!

I never in a million years would have thought that shoes would be such a huge factor. I am lucky that I at least can go back to my Adrenalines because I know that they work. I tried the temp met pads tonight and they didn't bother me. They actually felt good! I am looking forward to getting the inserts. I know I won't have to wear them forever, but hopefully they will make my feet get better sooner.

The temporary mat pads are just little pads shaped like a rounded triangle with an adhesive on one side. <br /><br />I was shocked I was right with the diagnosis because I usually end up with a horrific disease too.

The temporary met pads did slip a little so I am looking forward to having the true inserts. I also think my feet were happy to be in my Adrenaline shoes again. I have had PF before and it isn't fun either. I got the little inserts for my shoes and was better in about a month. I usually massage my foot with a tennis or golf ball.
