I had orthotics made for me by my podiatrist. Took plaster cast of my feet and they were sent out to have sport insoles made. I have very flat feet. I ran track in high school, but since then, my feet have become very flat. The last time I was running without them, the pain was not in my feet at all, but in my shins and Patellarfemoral pain (runners knee). My feet were not guiding the load of running along the outside of my foot and through the toes, but pronating and the impact was going straight through my shins and in the knees. Since then, I'm up to running 10-20 miles/ week with no symptons. I wear them everytime I can. I can't see how the one's I've had made cannot help most. And I'm usually very skeptical about any quick cures.
