Sherry - I can understand the relief. Several months ago, I told my rheumatologist that the arthritis in my feet was worsening. She replied I had very little arthritis in my feet. In other words, she basically said, "What arthritis in your feet?" Anyway, turns out I don't have a fat pad most people have on the bottom of the ball of my foot, so I'm basically walking on bone. (A genetic gift from Mom...) I got custom orthotics. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The pain almost immediately went away.
It's amazing what a little cushioning can do for the foot. Enjoy the difference!

They are expensive, but Superfeet are terrific inserts, especially for those who do a lot of hiking or running.
Glad you found some relief! Enjoy your walks! http://www.superfeet.com/

I wish I would have listened to my doctor a couple years earlier! He told me that the swelling in my knees was due to arthritic changes and that my cardio workouts was most likely irritating my knees and to buy a pair of insoles for my shoes. He did say it wasn't fat, which made me feel better instantly.
I finally broke down a month ago and bought a pair of insoles that supposedly was to help with knee pain. It was a pair of Dr. Scholl's from Wally's World. What a HUGE difference these insoles have made. I am really kicking myself for not doing this a couple of years ago. Do yourself a favor and buy a pair of insoles. It is so much cheaper than replacing your shoes, which might not even help. It never helped me.

I couldn't do without my Good Feet arch supports. Unlike over the counter products, they are personally fitted by trained staff. It takes about forty-five minutes but is worth it, as is the price. I've had mine for many years. My chiropractor recommended them.
Good Feet If you are looking for cushioning only, and not support, then any Dr. Scholl's will do.
