But in an effort to keep exercising, I've developed plantar fasciitis, and I could not even perform the heart stress test. Could barely walk for the last month or so. And here I am now, back from the Good feet store, $900 lighter, and a new pair of shoes on my feet. Worked out a 6 months payment plan, so that should help. But as I am sitting here, shoes (with inserts) still on, my heel does not hurt anymore.
Please tell me they did not take advantage of me... and these are really the prices you have to pay to get a good pair of inserts (just the hard one I am wearing now was $365, and they gave me a soft pair to wear in the house, and the shoes, and life time service).
Anyone had to do it, anyone had to pay that much???
I don't have shoe inserts but I did have to get them for my youngest daughter about ten years ago...took her to a physical therapist at the recommendation of ortho doc. Hers cost a little over $200 and when she needed replacements. she got them through Amazon, they sent her molds for her to stand in and then they custom made them. They seemed to help with the plantar fasciitis and some knee pain she had with running. Those were about $100. Neither of them had lifetime warranties, if your heel does not hurt, they are probably well worth the cost. Like I said, I got hers about 10 years ago and the other pair, I am not sure of. She wears them for running, not sure if she wears them for anything else, She did buy a pair of Birkenstocks...sandals and she SWEARS by them.
Hugs,
Ellen.
