My right foot hurts me every day especially the heel. I'm on my feet a lot. Not debilitating but very uncomfortable some days. Used this product yesterday and absolutely no pain last night. I know we're all not spring chickens here, thought it might do some good for someone else.
I had Plantar Fasciitis, very painful, felt like stepping on a knife.
Podiatrist made arch supports for me $500? my insurance paid 80% so I forget.
It was a dozen years ago, eventually they wore out and I didn't replace them.
I think The Good Foot Store gets $400+ for their arch supports and look to be the same quality my doctor made.
Now I have severe pain in the left heel - Achilles Tendonitis
My podiatrist advised, R-I-C-E (Rest - Ice - Compression - Elevation) and Ibuprofen.
He said I should have continued with good arch supports and that the tendon connection at the base of the heel is starting to fray from overuse.
He gave me a BioSkin TriLok Ankle Brace ($70 on amazon) to wear while my foot is in a walking boot for 8 weeks healing.
Good arch supports are worth the money. Think I'll go to the Good Foot Store
after my foot heals, because my insurance no longer covers arch supports.
My point is to save a trip to the doctor for foot pain, buy an ankle brace like the BioSkin for compression and stabilization (it's kind of like using a fancy ace bandage or taping an ankle for football) and good arch supports.
