Foot issues.. suggestions??

[jennielynn1970]

See, I'm thinking that maybe because my orthotics are about 15-20 years old, and I'm about *gasp* 100 lbs heavier now than I was back then, that these orthotics just can't stand up to what pressure my body is giving them.

I'm just so used to wearing my Naot sandals, and not wearing any shoe all summer, that maybe my foot is rebelling against that too.

There are a number of forces contributing to this, I think, and my body is pretty freaking unhappy about it right now, lol.

All I know is that my feet feel like someone ran them over from above the ankle, and I'm walking like a crippled, old, hobbling woman.

It's so not attractive.

I'm a waitress and I've had many problems with my feet.

I've just recently been seeing my podiatrist again and he says feet change over the years and I was refitted for new orthotics. I'm also getting new shoes for work. They suggested these (I'm sure it's because it's what the office carries) http://www.aetrex.com/index.html
But I figured I'd try them out.

If I were you, I'd definitely be going to the Dr.

Yes, I bet your orthotics are out of date. Feet do change. Going to the podiatrist is definitely a good idea. And do consider boots; you can sometimes get nice brand-name ones on ebay, and boots with good ankle support can give you back some of the energy you're using up just keeping your balance.
