Thank you so much for responding so quickly! Where can I find one of those Doctors? Could I just go to my family doctor? Or is there a Special place? lol I'm sorry I'm just clueless about this stuff. :( Have you heard of the Dr. Sholls thing where you stand on it and it tells you what kind of insert you need... do you think that's full of crap?
Your family doctor will not know much about this part of the body, especially foot structure issues, but can refer you to a podiatrist. Or simply google 'podiatrist' in your zip code, talk to friends etc. The Dr. Scholl's device is a bare bones scanner that simply measures your foot size and possibly arch, and recommends a very basic limited support insert based on that. At $50 they are pricey, and in my opinion not worth it. See a podiatrist for a better option.
I have a question... I have a pair of Nike Shox and I just recently got a job at Sweetwater's Donut mill. After working 6+ hours a day, I get home and I can barely walk because my feet are flat and where the arch of my foot should be, hurts SO bad, I almost cry. I did the test with my shoes to see if they bent in the right place and didnt twist too much and even the heal sturdy-ness. It seems to fit the match of a good shoe. Do you think I just need Gel Inserts? Please resond... I'm Desperate!!!
Shoes are only part of the picture with flat feet. You also need a good insert to actually support the arch by direct contact with the foot, as the shoe does not provide much of that support. Gel inserts/ drug store inserts are useless for those with true flat feet, as the cushiony material will compress with body weight, and hard store-bought inserts from expensive arch support stores can hit the arch imprecisely, leading to pain. See a podiatrist for real prescription orthotics.
