Its great to hear that you have got it under control and there is a solution there. I have nerve problems in one foot, where I cant put any pressure on it without a ton of pain sometimes. It comes and goes but usually appears after extended driving range sessions and lasts a few days. I might have to look into orthotics.

My understanding is that there are many foot issues that orthotic inserts / orthopedic shoes can help with, so I would highly recommend checking into it. The main downside is expense - my inserts were $350 including the specialist assessment. However, they should last for 3-5 years depending on how much time I spend on my feet. My workplace benefits plan covers them via a health spending account, but had I needed the HSA for something else, I think it would have been worth it to get them anyway.
