Same here - I have orthotics also and have had them since I was 17 but didn't start wearing them because they were really uncomfortable. But a few years ago I couldn't stand up without pain in my feet from the tendon stretching so I went through a whole bunch of tests to tell me I have flat feet and bone spurs. The podiatrist told me I have one of two options, wear the orthotics or have the tendon sliced in my feet. You can probably tell which one I picked.
