Tips for flat-footed runner.?

My feet are as flat as...heck, I don't know...something really really flat.





Anyway, I'm also a runner and after a mile or so my feet start hurting which causes me to stop and rest my feet. It hurts my "arch" or lack thereof...the area along the inside of my foot between my forefoot (big toe side/sesamoid bone) and just before my heel.





Is there an insole for my shoe that I can buy to prevent this? Any other suggestions?





At the moment I'm running with Asics GT2120 and also some old pair of Asics I have a sentimental bond with, lol. I stopped running on hard concrete and now I stick to treadmills and trails.





I'm 23 and I love running. I have done it constantly as a healthy release. If I wasn't able to run I'd be doomed to couch-potatodom. I'll never be able to reach the level I'm seeking with this problem...and I'd rather not have to resort to visiting a sports-health clinic.





Any help you can provide is welcomed!

Tips for flat-footed runner.?
The problem is that there can be a lot more to it than how flat (or not flat) your foot is. The first thing to do is to get properly fitted for a running shoe. Any good running store will video tape you running on a treadmill and put you in a shoe with good mechanics for your body. It's important to have good motion control if you are over or under-pronating (see link below). Try this and see if they can film you running in your shoes. If your gait is nice and neutral, then you can try an over the counter insole or arch support.





Just be careful not to over do it while you're trying something new. If you're not addressing the right problem you can seriously injure yourself.





I tend to under pronate, and when I run in shoes without motion control my arches start to kill me after a quarter-mile. At first I thought it was my arches and tried a Dr. Scholl's arch support insole and only made things worse.





Good luck!
Reply:Try running on your toes.It makes you go faster,too.But I must warn you you calves will be aching for at least two weeks when you run on your toes for the first time.

Where can i get Bunion Regulator in Singapore?
Get it treated a.s.a.p Bunions tend to get worse. Bunion regulators do not work but it helps the pain and comfort. Their isnt a way to remove bunions without surgery. Thats because of the bone deformity.

What do women think when they see a good looking guy with small feet?

So here's my problem: I'm six feet tall, have broad chest and shoulders and look overall muscular and fit. However, given my large frame, my size 10.5 feet look disporportionate to the rest of my body. This really bugs me because a.) I'd like my feet to be in proportion with the rest of my body and b.) I am aware that people think having small feet means having a small... (not true in my case.) I know I can always buy size 11 shoes and just add an insole but this becomes really uncomfortable after a while so I've stopped doing it. So ladies, if you saw a tall and good looking guy who dresses nice, looks good but has small feet, what would you think about him?

What do women think when they see a good looking guy with small feet?
10.5 is 1.5 sizes above average for men. Therefore, you don't have small feet.





Besides, you know what women say. A guy with big feet....needs big shoes.
Reply:did you know: your foot (heel to toe) should fit exactly between your wrist and the crook of your elbow if you hold it up to there? that means your proportianate (wow, i just butchered that word...)


honestly, we dont really concentrate on foot size, or atleast, i dont...
Reply:I probably wouldnt be paying any attention to his feet. I think most girls know by now that the foot thing is a myth and doesnt really mean anything. I would just think well hes a cute guy, most women dont look at feet. Trust me you need to quit worrying about it.

Mature people could care less about what size anything is. If your looking for a serious relationship but find that your feet are inhibiting you from doing this than you should build your intellect, that's what women really want.

Can paxil turn one into a thief? shoplifter? I've been on paxil for 4 months and I've shoplifted?

a bottle of water, and an insole. I would have never dreamed of doing such idiotic things before the paroxetine. So my question is, has my paxil turned me into a thief?

Can paxil turn one into a thief? shoplifter? I've been on paxil for 4 months and I've shoplifted?
It is unlikely, but...


One of the concerns with an unopposed antidepressant (assuming you are on no other meds) is that if you do have a bipolar illness rather than a unipolar depression, the paxil may be causing you to be "hypomanic". Symptoms of hypomania include elevated mood, not needing as much sleep as usual (staying up late), higher level of irritability, and increased impulsivity. This impulsivity usually comes across as increased gambling, increased shopping when you cant afford it, increased sexual activity... all stuff that you wouldn't "normally" do, but your mind's "brake" isnt there to stop you. I suppose that shoplifting could be a manifestation of that. Talk to your prescriber. That being said, the likelihood that an unopposed SSRI like paxil causing it would be pretty low. Also, missing some doses of paxil or taking it too late might cause some confusion and anxiety which could lead you to do things that you wouldn't normally.





These medications are not benign chemicals and COULD cause problems like these, even though most of the time they do not.





So, the bottom line would be to talk to your doctor and see what she or he thinks.
Reply:Is you energy level a little too high? Are you thoughts going a little too fast? Do you need a little less sleep than normal? Those all are signs of mild hypomania (subthreshhold mania) which can be induced by antidepressants. If that's the case, see your doctor asap. It's also a potential indicator of bipolar disorder (you need more so don't leap).





Other than the above, nope, can't think of a reason. So stop that!
Reply:No. It may cause you to gain weight, but it cannot turn you into a thief. I use to take it a few years ago and it helped with my anxiety and I had gained some weight from it, but that's about it.
Reply:no. paxil didn't make you into a thief...don't blame medication for you being a criminal.
Reply:no, shoplifting is a learned behavior. Your looking for an excuse to explain your bad behavior. Please stop.
Reply:Paxil is not the cause of you acting impulsive and shoplifting. It may just be part of your illness. My advice would be to discuss this with your therapist.

Could working out on the treadmill be causing my toes to swell and get blisters on them?

This is very weird but I have been working out for a little over three weeks, and I now have a blister forming on the bottom of my toe (the toe right next to the big toe). It is a little sore too. My other toes seems to be a little swollen underneath as well. I wear Nike Shocks to work-out in. I have alternated with socks (and they are kind of thicken anklet socks) and I tried tights yesterday (I wore them under my work-out pants).





Could it be that the insole in my shoes are worn out? I believe it's from friction, but what can I do to alleviate that? I usually stay on the treadmill for 60 minutes, but I alternate the speed between 3.5 and 4.1. I never run though. Could I be walking too hard?

Could working out on the treadmill be causing my toes to swell and get blisters on them?
You're right its the friction between your feet and shoes. The type of socks can help with this.





try soft cotton socks, the kind that soft towels are made of not the rayon or polyester type (like tights)





check your shoes, It should be a comfortable not too tight and not too loose.





Also, check with the gym instructors there if you are landing your feet correctly when you run, it is possible that you put a lot of weight on your toes instead of the balls of your feet.
Reply:Socks are supposed to absorb the humidity from your feet, maybe you are using a fabric softener on your socks. Fabric softeners don't let the socks absorb the humidity from your feet when you sweat. Fabric softners will make your feet itch. The crispier the socks the better they are for your feet. What you have could be athleth foot. Use a medicated powder in your shoes, don't use fabric softener, and wear confortable shoes. It helps if the shoes have some ventilation, like material that lets the air through, or shoes that have a couple of little round holes on the inerside of the shoe.
Reply:Sometimes new shoes will do that. Even though you purchase the same size that you always wear, the custom fit and model of the shoe varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. If the timing of the exercises and swelling coincide then it could be directly related. Try alternating your shoes or socks or consider buying a new pair of shoes.also consider wearing two pairs of socks. If the problem persists consult a physician. Also keep in mind the weather's temperature has a direct correlation with the "shoe life" of your shoes, if worn outside frequently.
Reply:get some swimming shoes and walk in them, not in something you tie on.
Reply:Yes is the simple answer to your question.





Give the exercise a break until they've cleared up.





I'll tell you what I do. I still play football (5 - a- side) and when I need to buy new trainers, if they cause blisters, the next time I play in them I put loads of vaseline in them. I mean loads. About a tablespoon per trainer directly on the area causing the blistering. You will only need to do this once or twice after which time your feet and shoes will have got used to each other.
Reply:that should not happen. what i would do is call nike directly and talk to an agent about it. you have one of 2 options, send the shoes in and set up a claim ( there could be too much material in them) or you can set up a risk management where they might pay for any doc. visits or anything that could have happened to you. It is really your option. i have worked for nike so i know personallty that i have had a few of these calls before. They are willing to help you and take care of you :) the number is 1-800-344-6453 opt. 5. hope this helps you :)

Gucci shoes made in Brazil. Real or fake?

I just picked up a pair of Men's horsebit loafers with rubber soles that have the horsebit pattern impressed in the rubber. They say Gucci Italy on the insole but on the tongue it says Made in Brazil. I didn't know if Gucci ever outsourced any of their manufacturing or if these are Brazillian knock offs. They are well constructed and are really very nice. But for resale purposes I am not sure if I can say they are authentic. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Gucci shoes made in Brazil. Real or fake?
They are true. Brazil is one of the biggest exporter of shoes, and also of meat (since they come together at the beginning of the process).


Most famous brands are established in Brazil.


Brazil has many German and Italian descendants and they bring the technology to prepare the leather and produce shoes.


Before China become this big export country Brazil was also a big tennis shoes exporter.

I just received my first pair of ballet pointe shoes but have some fitting problems...?

It's a Freed Studio 7E (US 9.5) with standard insole. However the heel does tend to come off - seems a little loose, so I guess I should have gone with 6.5 instead. But the biggest problem is that the second I start walking with them on my big toe joints hurt and the big toes themselves don't seem to have enough room, they hurt on the side. Does that mean I should get an even wider shoe, or is it something else? Would a toe pad fix all my problems by shortening the shoe and cushioning my toes? Thank you!

There is something wrong with the arch of my foot and i don't know what to do.. can anyone help?

a little over a month ago i started working out to get myself in better shape and to lose some un-wanted weight... so i bought an elliptical machine. well ever since about two weeks after i got it i have this pain in the arch of my right foot, i have good shoes, new balance as a matter of fact, so i don't think that is it, i even bought an arch support gel insole from dr. scholl's and that doesn't seem to help either. it almost feels like it is being stretched when i walk, like it is really tight and when i press my foot down it feels like the muscle is being pulled. it is making me walk on the outer side of my foot because it hurts. do any of you know what this might be because of or how to stretch it out r maybe what i can do to help it or SOMETHING!

Okay so i had theat problem too for a while and in fact it just started to come back the problem is that u probably have flat feet you should go to the pedietrist and get special insoles made juist for you feet and where them in all aof your shoes all the time. i was fine until i stopped wearing them over the summer but really they work, but they are a little pricy.
Reply:What it sounds like is a condition called plantar fasciitis. In addition to the orthotics for your shoes, you need to stretch out your calves as well as the base of your foot.

Heel Spurs (Morning heal pain)?

For the last couple of weeks I am suffering from Heal Spurs/ Plantar Fasciitis (Morning Heel pain). It is really severe in the morning when I get up but usually subsidise within couple of minute but I get the sensation through out the days.





My Doctor has already given one injection in one of my heal and given medicine as well, nothing worked out. Then I have purchased one Insole and inserted it under my shoes for extra cushion but seem nothing is working.





I am really annoyed with this, because I am loosing confidence, I can’t run or jump or go for long walk.





It stared when I played basketball after many years; I suspect this is the main reason behind my pain. anyway, i stopped plyaing immediately





Please suggest me if anyone has any idea about the same ho can I get rid of the same.

Heel Spurs (Morning heal pain)?
There are lots of things you can do for heel spurs and plantar fasciitis.





First off, don't just use inserts, you need to invest in a good pair of shoes. Depending on what kind of shoes you currently use, you could see improvement immediately.





Don't go to the doctor for heel spurs! They can't do anything for you and surgery will often hurt your feet more. Try massage therapy or a physical therapist first. It isn't the easy way out, but it's a way to get your foot to heal and be functional again without shots and knives.





Stretch the area and rub the area. Get into a routine to get that inflamed area relaxed.





Don't worry too much if you are still growing. I use to get heel spurs when I was going through a growth spurt.
Reply:Ask about the boot, you wear it at night to keep the tendon stretched, may offer you some relief. I went through the whole list of options, 3 injections, inserts, icing, and eventually surgery. That solved the morning pain and offered relief but caused some new problems down the road. the arch in the foot that was operated on was much lower after the surgery and I have to wear orthodics for the rest of my life.
Reply:i /had /heel spurs /the ONLY thing /that took away / is what they call /shock wave therapy / i swear by that method 100%
Reply:Start by putting arch supports, not inner soles, in ALL you shoes. Forget about wearing flip flops you will never get better. Losing weight will also help relieve this pain.

How do you clean suede flip flops?

Go to a shoe store and ask for a suede brush. They help immensely!


Also, try to find some of this:

It's like a yellow bar of soap meant for stains on clothes. I believe it's under the brand "sunlight"


Basically what you do is on the stain, take a chisel and scrap some of the sunlight bar shavings on to the area. Wet the area with warm water and gently work the soap shavings into the stain. After, wash out the soap and brush with the suede brush I told you about. It works great for the suede on my UGGS
Reply:I would use a powdered laundry detergent and a good stiff bristled brush and warm water.

Reply:Try a GoodFeet Store... they are expensive, but they have custom solutions for everything.
Reply:Good shoes are critical for wearing them for long time. But you do not necessarily need to buy expensive ones.





My most comfortable heels came from Walmart. They were about 2" tall and I could run around in them for hours.





My least comfortable came from JC Penney. They are OK but my feet do hurt after an hour or so on my feet.





Try several inexpensive ones. Keep the ones that your feet do not hurt.





Good Luck!
Reply:Get some good gel insoles...And make sure the shoes fit WITH the insoles in BEFORE you buy the shoes!!





If you get shoes that fit properly, then add the insoles, the balls of your feet will be happy but the rest of your feet will hate you!!! You'll crush your toes!!





If the shoes fit nicely WITH the insoles, your whole foot will be happy and you'll be able to wear them all day without problems!!





Also take into consideration how high the heels are, how much ankle support the shoes provide and the fact that feet swell as the day goes on. Buy the shoes in the late afternoon after you've been at work all day if possible. Also buy GOOD quality shoes...That makes a HUGE difference!!!





Best bet is start with a lower heel when you first start wearing them to work and then move higher as you adjust. Don't just jump into a pair of 4"+ heels and expect happy feet at the end of a long day standing and walking!!
Reply:First of all, make sure you get yourself a pair of very good heels, ones that are made very well and are very stable. That makes all the difference in the world. You might want to try some of the Dr. Scholl inner soles, they are pretty comfortable.


I have found that spending the extra money on heels really makes the difference between being able to walk on heels vs wobbling around. I'm not saying that you should spend what I do, I wear Manolo's, and I was never able to wear heels before, but look at Belle by Sigerson Morrison, they have small heels, and yes, they are expensive, but at least your feet won't kill you.
Reply:Please don't wear heels to work if you are on your feet all day. They may look nice but they will hurt like hell by the end of the day, and even if they dont then they aren't doing your feet any favors. Please save heels for when you go out after work.
Reply:Insoles from chains of Adidas are very comfortable and provide support and comfort.

Foot arches?

is it true that if you don't have the right insole for your foot arch that it can cause shin splints

Foot arches?
I'm not sure about shin splints, but I do know if you do not have a good shoe that supports your arch and fits you will develop problems

Vivienne westwood elevated gille shoes, vintage. pretty good con. how much are they worth?

They have black patent leather uppers with the trademark triple lace-up 'lugs' of the traditional Scottish 'gillie' style. They have a peaked toe-cap which extends down over the platform sole at the front and sides. They are lined in natural leather and have sythetic soles.





They are in good worn condition, with just a small scuff on the right toe and another on the counter (heel cap) of the same shoe. Because they have been worn, half of the 'Vivienne Westwood London' stamp on the insole has worn away but you can still clearly see the imprint of the orb stamp.

Nordstrom Rack warranty?

I've bought things at the main store, and if any merchandise is defective I know that Nordstrom will take care of it. Do they have the same kind of warranty for their discount shores? I'm not really looking for a refund, I just want to get my money's worth!





(I bought a pair of Enzo Angiolini heels within the last two weeks, and EA usually makes good shoes. However, after only wearing this pair twice the insole got all torn up. The rest of shoe looks good, you would be able to tell I've barely worn them.)

if it is a discount store, maybe not. they may not do anything if merchandiseis defective. that is the price of the discount store.

SLIGHTLY bow - legged ?

okay so when i was young my legs were PERFECTLY straight . i mean everyone always complimented me on them , but once I was in the 4th-6th grade , they started getting kinda bowed . its not that bad and my thighs are straight but its just my calves that are kinda bowed ?


i want straight legs again !


im on the cheer team at my high school and our skirts are really short and i wanna show my legs off more than i already do (:


im pretty happy with my legs but i just want them straighter .





how can i get straight legs ?


any excerices ? foot insole things ? anything ?

SLIGHTLY bow - legged ?
I doubt there is much to do to fix them, but I will tell you that I knew alot of guys who LOVED bow-legged women!! For many, they think it brings a heightened sexual experience or something of the sort.





Anyhow, learn to embrace them and bare your legs proudly!! If you think they are sexy, so will others. Seriously.

I am plagued with arch blisters during my runs! Help!?

I run in Asics 2130s, and LOVE them. They fit my 2A arch perfectly, except that I always develop blisters at the part of my arch closest to my 1st metatarsal head. I've tried absolutely everything... shaving down the insole in that spot, Body Glide, Body Glide WITH Blister Shield, Blister Shield alone, Spenco blister kits, EVERYTHING! I currently run in only Injinji toe socks, b/c I was getting toe blisters, and those have eliminated that issue, but now these arch blisters... anyone have any experience with Goretex?

I am plagued with arch blisters during my runs! Help!?
I hate to say it but it might be your shoe causing the blisters. Or another thing might be how your foot hits the ground as you run. Have you got these blisters before with other shoes? If so maybe you need a professional to get you a special insole.

Need New Soccer Cleats?

Right now I have tunits 50.7's. I used them in the fall season with no problems, but now they are killing my feet to the point where I can't play more than 40 minutes in them without using my other, cheaper but more comfortable cleats. I was wondering what you guys would recommend for me. I have wide feet and I am flat footed, so a cleat that is wide and big enough to fit an insole in would be ideal for me.

Need New Soccer Cleats?
You dont need to have cleats it is just there if you want or need help running. If you cant find any cleats then stick with sneakkers. No one will make fun of you when you are out on field. It is your choice but remember you dont need cleats.

Knee problems?

Im a 17 year old girl, who runs high school xc and track.so I have had knee problems before in xc and track, but once


I ice them and take ibprohen(Cant spell) to help the swelling.I feel better in a week. but this time its been like 3 weeks, I have been iceing them and taking ibprophen and got insole things for my shoes, but now when I sit in a chair and lift both legs up at the same time I can only lift my left leg(the leg with the knee problem) up only like 2 or 3 inches with out my knee hurting. it hurts to jump up and down, it swells and hurts when I run but when I run and it hurts I slow down or walk a little...so whats wrong with my knee? if it keeps up for another week im going to the doctor..

Knee problems?
Well knees are always easy to injure, tear, and is the most complex amount of muscles and bones! Since you sound like quite the runner it could be many things. I hope there no popping or locking, stiffness because that could result in more serious things. But for you it could sound like a ACL knee injury or tear, just from running so much and exercising like crazy. It may be septic arthritis, i know quite a few kids who have that who are also runners. It may be a knee strain or a knee meniscus tear. Well it could be a lot of things, but if you're pain is keeping up i suggest going to a doctor, knee specialist or a physiotherapist!





Keep it up, and use RICE, Good luck!
Reply:used to be in track too.....umm there is a bone right behind the knee cap called the miniscus (men-nis-cus) running and sprinting and you can blow it. you mght have also chipped your knee cap. my bf did that when he was hauling furniture. go to a orthopedic doctor. until you find out what it is, stay off the track. you might do even more damage. also talk to your coach.
Reply:If you cant straighten the leg at all then it is most likly a meniscus tear witch is the cartilage that separates your femor and tibia I had a tear there it sounds very similar get it checked out by an ortho ASAP you dont want to keep letting it get worse i did and lost half of the cartilage in my knee its not pleasant if you get it early enough they can scope the tear and it should be minor...if it is a meniscus tear which sounds most likely





But thats assuming its a meniscus tear it could be a minor ligament tear, though doubtful since its been happening for a while now...or it could be a stress fracture. Odds are its a meniscus tear though

I have really bad back pain.?

I have really bad back pain. It is so bad sometimes that i have to lay down, and then when i lay down i cant even move my hips, i actually have to be moved by someone else. I have no idea what this is caused from. I do have a job where i have to stand up most of the time. But i do sit alot of that time too, so i am just lost. Is there Some kind of insole that really works well for you that i should try?

I have really bad back pain.?
You probably should be checked by a doctor. There are too many things it could be. It may be a pinched nerve or it could be muscular or it could be a problem with the cartilage in your spine or even with the vertebrae themselves.
Reply:Where in your back? Upper back or lower back in your lumbar area. The best thing I ever did for my constant back pain was go see a chiropractor. He really helped me. I have herniated discs at L4 %26amp; L5 adn it used to be really bad to the point where I couldn't even stand long enough to make my self a cup of tea. Now after seeing the chiropractor I can pretty much do everything I used to be able to do. It REALLY works!
Reply:After my second child was born I had a long bout of really bad back pain, went through lots of tests, physical therapy, etc with no relief. Finally in a doctor's office one day I read an article about a book called "Healing Back Pain" (sorry can't think of the author right now and I loaned it out!). It's about the mind/body connection, how emotional issues can actually make pain, especially back pain, worse. I would never have believed it if I hadn't gone through the medical ordeal first. Anyway, I have been virtually free of back pain for three years. Give it a try.

Are boots from Rocket Dog good quality? Will they last a long time?

We just got these extremely cute and stylish waterproof boots from Rocket Dog in at the store where we work. They are lined and coated, and would be ideal for cool wet wether, and I think with an extra felt insole they would be warm enough to wear all winter too, exept on the coldest days. If I buy them they will be my main all weather boots that I wear almost every day, because I think a hundred dollars is pretty bleeping expensive just for a fashion statement. I need to know if they're going to last and be worth the price.

Nike shox?

I looked at apple.com and saw that the sensor you put in your shoe and the receiver that you plug into your ipod was only 30 dollars. But do you have to get the Nike shoes that go with it? If you don't have the shoes, and just put it under the insole in your shoe, is it uncomfortable? Is it worth it? Please give me your advice! Thanks in advance!

Nike shox?
It does work on the outside of shoes but you can't put them under the insole of any shoe. Nike plus shoes have a little slot for the sensor to go into.





This is a link to target where they sell a pouch for the sensor to go into which attaches under your shoelace.


http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=...





I think it's only worth it if you are a serious runner. It is good that you can set it, for say 3 miles, and then run around the block, to a store,etc. and then it will tell you when the 3 miles are up. Unless I am running on the track I usually don't know how far I ran. Also it will tell you when you have 2 miles left, 1 mile left,etc. Remember that the receiver only works with the iPod nano

Does anyone know what the name of a pair af running shoes made by nike are?

i know they have a skeletal foot design on the insole and they were meant to make you feel like you were running barefoot.

Does anyone know what the name of a pair af running shoes made by nike are?
They are the Nike (Free). I have a pair and they feel really comfortable. The Free isn’t really used so much as a running shoe, but there are groups of marathoners who ware them and some others who have been able to adjust to the shoe. The reason I say people adjust to the shoe is because when you ware the shoe, it uses more muscles in your feet and legs than a normal running shoe would. You will probably get really sore if you don’t work your way into the shoe, like how people work into their orthotics. If you plan on getting the shoe post a question on how to work your way into using the Frees for running. I will respond to that post as well to give you the answer.

Ankle surgery?

I had ankle surgery to repair 2 ligaments that were torn in half. They had to reconstruct them by placing 3 screws and some other stuff to my bone in my leg. I had surgery on January 23rd of this year. I've been doing phyical therapy for the past 2 months. I've noticed that my big toe is numb in some areas and my ankle and my whole foot in general swells up when I stand and walk on it for a few minutes. My Othopedic doctor says I'm putting too much pressure on the balls of my feet so I will need foot insole to relief the pain. I was wondering if anyone knows or has been through this situation if they know what is wrong with my ankle. This has been going on for a couple of months.

Ankle surgery?
Are there any signs of swelling around your knee? Do you exhibit any weakness in your feet? Have you had this since your surgery? It's possible that you may have a pinched nerve as a result of inflammation in or around the knee. I would guess that your inflammation in your foot is definitely contributing to the numbness of the toe. What I would do at this point is ice as much as I can to reduce the inflammation around your ankle and foot and consult another orthopedic surg. to examine you. Decreasing the inflammation is going to get rid of your numbness as well as the swelling.








Dr. Ali, DC
Reply:Hey I can relate to your situation, I have had 2 surgery of my left knee in the past 3 1/2 yrs and I have had my bad days while rehabbing. I would recommend that you go and get a 2nd opion or just keep telling your doctor about your pain and concerns. Also take a look at acuepuchure this may help you.

I am looking for a shoe insert of some sort that will help me fill my shoes. My shoes are too BIG!?
When I worked at the shoe store Charles David we had these pads in the back that were a little less then a 1/4 of an inch thick for the heel and the ball of your foot. We didnt sell them but if someone needed them when buying a shoe we gave it to them for free. So if you go into a shoe store and ask for a pair (if they have them) saying you bought a shoe from them and its a little too big if they have a shoe pad. They may make you pay for it but its worth having your shoes fit right? Good luck

Wear your other shocking under the soft socks, if that doesn't help, donate them...or find a family member or friend you can make happy.

Volleyball question?(height)?
no it is not worth buying it might make you taller but its not going to help your verticle..i have these jumpstops that helped my verticle by 6 inches that is really really good and if i contunue working with them i should have an improvement of 8. I play volleyball and basketball so those jumpstops were very helpful you should check them out they really work just trust me. they come with a video of how to use them. doing leg excercises also helps jump everyday, "sit on the wall", got to the gym and ask about the leg excersice machines. Good luck in your season i hope you do awsome!!!
Reply:I play volley ball and am 5'11" it's not always better to be taller but what is important is finding the position(s) that you are best at. Work on your game, don't worry about finding outside objects to help you ... Practice practice practice!
Reply:No not really it's not how tall you are it's how high you can jump so work out your legs and you should save a little money not that its a big amount of money. email me at AOL at the screen-name of yashi5654 for exercise advice because I play club volleyball and we work out our legs all the time.
Reply:you might be slightly taller, but any gains in height would be negated by those inserts ruining your lateral mobility. i can't imagine that you'd maintain any quickness or agility with those between your feet and the floor.
Reply:Not everyone on a volleyball team needs to be tall.





Heck, I'm 5'8" and back when I played on a coed bar-league team I had a 24" vertical.


Generally I was the quickest person on the floor and most players would under-rate my jumping and blocking abilities... As well as my spiking abilities.





If you work on anything, work on quickness, setting, serving and playing each position on the floor the best you can, and of course, practice jumping and being flexible.

Reply:u could be 6 feet talll and if u cant jump then u cant play volleyball. so dont buy it
Reply:hi, don't wanna sound mean, but no!! that is crazy, you could hurt yourself. please don't!
Reply:You don't have to be tall to play volleyball. If you are shorter and can pass well, then consider playing back row becasue you have a lower center of gravity and its easier to get down and get back up again for any digs. You could also work on your vertical jump if you like playing front row.

Heels too big?

I just bot a pair of high heels that are a tad too big. The half size smaller were to snug but I need to find an insole or something to make my heels fit. They're open toed sandals so I need something that won't show. I'm wearing these shoes to a wedding on saturday and I would really appreciate any tips!

Heels too big?
This may sound tacky, but I swear it works! I just tape a cotton ball to my heel (if they're a not a strappy shoe). It makes them fit better and keeps me from getting a blister at the same time!
Reply:OK. i had the same problem. it might sound crazy, and you have to wear pants or jeans with the shoes, so nobody sees what's going on. if you need extra padding, take a pair of socks and cut them in half (like hobo style) and put them on. this way, the peep toe shows and you have extra padding.
Reply:You could wear dress pants or a long dress. I doubt anyone will see them because it'll probably be dark during the reception!

What can you put in the classic tall Ugg boots to make u more taller?
If you wear the tall uggs they will make you look even shorter. I recommend the classic short, they give the illusion you are taller.

I need to find slippers for my husband that don't smell after a few weeks....(sweaty feet). any suggestions?

he doesn't want to have to put an odor aborbing insole in it.

I need to find slippers for my husband that don't smell after a few weeks....(sweaty feet). any suggestions?
The smell is caused by bacteria on the outside of the feet. You can eliminate the bacteria on the feet by scrubbing them with regular bar soap in the shower every day. Make sure to get inbetween the toes and at the heal and ball of feet. Once the bacteria spreads to slippers it wont go away
Reply:Beach thongs are one option, since most of the foot will "breathe" and that kind of shoe doesn't prevent the evaporation of sweat. Also, all-leather (NO vinyl) slippers can reduce accumulation of sweat since the leather "breathes". Your husband can also use foot powder on his feet and inside his shoes. If this is a chronic problem, maybe he should see your family doctor and be checked for fungal or other infections which can cause foot odor. Of course, regular bathing with a good soap never hurts, and airing our or washing the slippers can also reduce their smell.
Reply:dc makes great flip flops... i have to wear them for swim season.. i have had them since the summer and they do not have any smell after seven months...they are really great flip flops...
Reply:1. Get slippers that have leather soles.





2. Wear wool or cotton socks.
Reply:Ones that can be washed in the washer..
Reply:you might want to look for a leather sole

A place to get a shoe insert that is the mold of my foot.?

my back is hurting because I am flat footed, so I do not need a arch support in my shoe. So I want an insole for my boots that is molded from my foot.

A place to get a shoe insert that is the mold of my foot.?
Flat footedness is a very serious and painful condition. You really need to consult a podiatrist. They can take impressions of your feet and have orthotics made specifically for your feet. Brace yourself though, they cost about $300 and your insurance may or may not pay for them. Good Luck
Reply:You can by Mr.Scholls shoe gel, foot things (they have memory foam), or there shoes. Hope you're O.K.
Reply:Go to a foot doctor, called a podiatrists.

This type is about $60, the website says it's 35 because that's in the boys section/sizes. If this isn't the exact style you like, I'd look at the slip ons. All Vans shoes are comfy.
Reply:id suggest nike, as not only can you wear them during sporting activities, they wouldnt look out of place with some shorts and a top at the weekend (:

Ankles hurt! please help?

I have recently started running about a week ago... i was running 2 miles a day... and i have felt that my ankles hurt alot when im running half a mile.. its very painful.. i thought they were my shoes but today i bought some very expensive comfortable running shoes and still feel the pain... ive noticed that my foot has no arch so i bought an insole so i they can help my feet to curve like an arch but they still hurt..... what should i do? please help

Ankles hurt! please help?
when you just start running you have a lot of pains in your joints. Keep running the joint pains usually go away in a few weeks. I had ankle pains during cross country, It was in the begining of the season and I noticed that it was because we were running on a lot of rough trails that twisted my ankles in odd directions. Good Luck! I hope the pains leave.
Reply:Welcome to running!


#1 - Slow down. If you're just starting to exercise, start out walking. Be able to walk 3-4 miles pain-free before attempting to run. When you start running, start with 1 mile, then increase to 1.5 when you're comfortable, and so on.


#2 - If you bought your shoes from a running shoe store, go back and tell them what you're experiencing. They should be more than willing to help. If you bought them from a retail chain, you probably bought the wrong shoe. If you have a flat foot, you most likely need a motion-control shoe. Examples: adidas Supernova Control 10, Brooks Beast, Nike Cesium, and there are many others.


#3 - If you have a flat foot, you do no not need extra arch support. This is a common misconception that one can "push their arch back up." Adding more support in the arch will only cause further pain. See a running specialty store and they will be able to set you up with the right shoe for your specific needs.
Reply:you probably need to see a podiatrist or chiropractor to adjust your feet. your ankle bones, specifically your talus, is likely out of place and needs adjustment.


ice is also good. roll a golf ball under your foot as well to help.
Reply:its probably a stress injury it will subside 3 days up to 6 months





anyway. the best thing to do is to put a brace on it and move it as little as you can
Reply:maybe try tying your shoes tighter. my friend had ankle problems because her running shoes weren't tight enough. just tie them really tightly, and hopefully that'll work.
Reply:ice it before you run tomorrow, if that doesnt work see a doctor or go to a special running store to get advice from professionals

Nike dunk sb???????

ok so i was wondering if a pair of dunk sb's don't have the zoom air graphic on the insole then does that mean it doesn't have it? or does it just not have the graphic? like the 720's don't have a graphic while the tiffany's have one.

Nike dunk sb???????
it just doesnt hav the graphic
Reply:All new SB releases have a Zoom Air insole and so do most, if not all, the older SB's. Some have the graphic, some don't, it just depends on the release, colors, and what Nike decides will look best.
Reply:If the Zoom Air Graphic isnt on the shoe..then its not the Zoom Air Edition. Check out the Tiffs....http://www.solepedia.com/Tiffany

I incurred a Tibial Plateau Fracture in Jan. 2008 -- how can I best learn to walk down stairs normally again?

My TPF was only 1mm depression fracture and the surgeon decided not to do anything to the tibial bone but only to shave the damaged articular cartilage. I've been off crutches now for about a month and can walk without a limp (I have an insole that I wear in the damaged leg to straighten the x formation). I am fairly athletic and train everyday by swimming or stationary bicycle or both. I cannot do stairs. Walking up the stairs without bending over is painful. Walking down the stairs I cannot do at all --- I can only handle down stairs by placing the bad foot on the step first followed by the good foot. I also can't do quad strengthening exercises on the machine or do squats since they're too painful on the knee.... so I use rubber bands instead for resistance or lift by lying down and putting the good leg on the bad leg and trying to lift only with the bad leg. If I try to take the down stairs normally my hip on the bad leg extends all the way out and I'm afraid of more damage.

Question about toddler shoes?

I have been in different stores looking for shoes for my 20 month old son. Some of them are really hard on the insole and other ones are medium-soft.





how should they be?? he is already walking and running everywhere!! :)





thanks

Question about toddler shoes?
Medium soft is meant more for children who are beginning to walk. This is because of the flexibility they offer. The harder shoes are meant for children who can walk on their own without assistance, without falling, and who are able to run around. I always go to stride rite at the beginning of the season to get my son measured, they let you know the best type of shoes for their feet, do a measurement, and in case you didn't know (and i didn't) when buying sandals you always buy then a half size bigger to avoid blistering. Anywho, as long as your son is running around you should be ok with the harder insole.
Reply:I havent specifically looked for special soles. Always bought my tods shoes from sears. They seem to fit him well. When he was outgrowin his shoes we brought juz as he started walking, he wouldnt let us wear them. I believe he would let you know if it is uncomfortable.
Reply:Whatever shoes he's most comfortable in that aren't too tight, are the best fit.
Reply:just whatever he seems comfortable in. put them on him and let him walk/run around the store to make sure they're not going to bother his feet. hope I helped! =)
Reply:If he is already walking and running, I would go based on fit. They say that flexible soles are good (like Stride Rite) but I have found that my daughter (23 mos) does well in Nike sneakers. Her feet just seem to fit in them best. However, going to a store like Stride Rite assures that they will measure your son's feet and get the appropriate size and width. For dress shoes, I just go cheap, like Target or Payless. Carters has nice sandals, as does Nike.
Reply:My son is 21 months and I have bought him all different kinds of tennis shoes, sandals and dress shoes. He had no problem with any of them. Your son is old enough now that any type of shoe that fits properly and doesn't hurt his feet are fine. He will let you know if they hurt!
Reply:my daughter is 21/2 and she can walk well on her own. if your son is walking well on his own then go with hard insole sneakers like nike at any foot locker. they will measure his feet for you so you have the right size. going with soft sole shoes isn't a good idea at his age you want him to be able to walk and wear hard insole shoes. good luck

Why does my birkenstock get slippery when wet?

Yeah, my birkenstock/paillio insole gets really slippery and slimy when its wet i.e when i am caught in the rain. it makes it v hard to walk as my feel is sliding out of the sandal. why is this so? anyway to prevent/solve this prob?

Why does my birkenstock get slippery when wet?
Because the sandles are made by hippies and they spilled bong water on the insole.... um really.
Reply:IDK... all my birks are so old they are all like "slippers" literally. I slip and slide everywere in them. How do you like the inserts aside from the slipping thing?


I have orthotic (that cost and arm and a leg) so I am always interested in new products.

Rocket Dog shoes. I was at Macys today and was going to buy a?

pair of yellow and a pair of black and green rocket dogs. BUT, I noticed alot of stitching coming off and looking under the insole it was all cardboard. Also, I could see the glue all around the shoes base. Is this normal for this brand? I want my shoes to last at LEAST a year with 1x a week use.

Rocket Dog shoes. I was at Macys today and was going to buy a?
I get sucked in repeatedly by Rocket Dog's cute styles, but to be honest, they don't stand up all that well. You might try googling the style( or the colors and then searching for your shoes), if you can find them for cheaper, it may make their lack of sturdiness not sting so much.
Reply:I would have to actually see them to say for sure. However, it is very typical of Rocket Dogs to look worn. I have a pair that I've had for about a year and one of my friends remarked that they looked like they were falling apart. I said I had bought them like that and he was stunned.





Also, try going to Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse. It's a massive shoe store that I used to work at and we sold tons of shoes. We had LOTS of Rocket Dogs and they were so much cheaper than at department stores. Mine were $19.90 but at department stores they were $39.99 unless they were on clearance. Google the store name and you can find if there's a store close to you.

UGGS, can be worn winter through summer.?

This is not a question...





This is what UGG sheepskin is all about so you people who said "IT WILL MAKE YOUR FEET SWEAT" think again, dont you think the manufacturers would know there own product? Heres what the company has to say about it...





"Sheepskin - Winter through Summer.





30° Below - the ins and outs of your UGG Australia footwear. Our fine woolen sheepskin breathes, wicking heat and moisture away to keep your feet dry and at body temperature indoors and out. In cold weather (even to -30F) the soft wool fibers act as a natural insulator, keeping your feet warm and comfortable.





In warm weather (even to 80F) the supple fibers act as a natural air conditioner, keeping your feet cool and comfortable. The natural fleece on the removable insole molds to the shape of your foot creating a natural arch support."

UGGS, can be worn winter through summer.?
Oh okay that's chill.


Thanks for the information.





Maybe I'll get it then.


But where would you suggest I get it?
