I have not had it - I was diagnosed with severely pronated feet - a.k.a. bunions - starting with the podiatrist saying, "You know you have really really really really really flat feet, right?" and me saying, "No, I don't! Dad and Jody have flat feet, not me!" That was 15 years ago. I was given the option of orthotics in my shoes or surgery. Well, I figured because of my age, I didn't want to have to do the surgery again in another 25 years, and another 25 years after that, so I said I'd try the orthotics. Well, I have worn them faithfully ever since, and my feet no longer hurt, and in fact that bunions have gradually been reduced in size now that the orthotics enforce an arch in my feet, and keep me from wanting to stand with my feet turned onto the outside edges. If I went barefoot for a whole day and was on my feet a lot, I'd be sore at the end of the day, but I just don't do that much anyway.

My grandmother had bunion surgery when I was a kid, she was in her mid-sixties, so I was completely startled when the doc diagnosed me with bunions at age 28!
