Couple of things to realize here. If you are going to wear orthotics and expect to get results, then that means that you need to be in those orthotics whenever you are on your feet. A lot of people wear their orthotics at work, then go home and walk around bare foot in their house....um...you are telling your body to do 2 different things, or they switch to their tennis shoes which don't have them in them, and wear those. You are doing rehab for half the day, then counter acting it the other half of the day. Yea, no wonder your feet hurt. They need to be in every pair of shoes you wear. The problem with shoes...and even "special running, high quality made by little elves" shoes, is that every person's foot is different, yet the shoes are all made for an average person. Some shoes you can get different widths and such, and that is good, but not perfect. A custom made orthotic is made to fit your foot exactly, but again, unless you wear them at all times when you are on your feet, you will have pain. And just like tennis shoes, there are orthotics that are better than others no doubt. And it usually takes at least a month for your feet to adapt to orthotics.
