OMG I definitely don't have this problem. I'm so sorry to hear about your painful experiences. My left foot feels a general achiness at all times and a more acute pain at some times (but usually at random times like laying in bed or sitting at my desk) but I don't seem to have the nighttime problem as much.

Thanks so much for the info and what a great experience you had! It's really too bad there's not a Good Feet by me (and I'm in the large DC area, I'm pretty surprised). I certainly wouldn't mind paying the $$ if they were just the right thing.

Another opinion on Good Feet
I thought the Good Feet store's orthotics were way overpriced (they're now $295/pr) and no more effective than ProArch or ArchMates.
As a matter of fact, the new Scholl's "footmapping" displays in CVS stores & other drugstores run $49.95/pr and look very similar to some of the softer custom Good Feet orthotics. If you're going to spend $300 on orthotic insoles, go to your podiatrist and pay $400 for the custom orthotics that are typically made by PedAlign or Integrity Orthotics. This online Orthotics vendor sells tons of orthotic inserts in every price range. Might be worth asking your podiatrist about them. Also do not underestimate the power of properly-fitted athletic shoes. I have always worn cushioned shoes for high arches and was very surprised when my doctor told me I overpronate ("rotational foot") and have low arches and should be wearing stability shoes!
