My experience is the more I know the less I know LOL. I had plantar a few years back. Not fun. Not that long ago I got rid of one small bag of insoles cause I had so many. Either insoles from shoes, over the counter and whatnot. I finally tossed my old pair of insoles I had made going back 25 years. Yeah it's ridiculous LOL. They weren't even molded. I stood on these pegs that pushed down and had to make sure I was standing perfectly straight. Ironically it worked cause I could put them in anything, but your feet change over time. I will see what my health insurance covers but am going back to the full orthotic. These half insoles for the heal means I might have to add padding on top, defeating support. I'm looking at the NB 1540v4 at $200 LOL. My old ways was $50-60 and fool around with the padding, but at this stage I think I have to invest in a better shoe. I dunno. What's working best currently is the barefoot shoe, but on hard tile and concrete at work? The problem with buying new shoes is they feel good in the store but hours later is when the pain comes. Walking around carpet isn't telling me anything. I'll have to make sure I can return them. I really feel for people who found that one shoe that works and then the company changes them with different versions. My advice - If you ever want to give your body a real reset, check out
