Spare us if this is not something you want to read; just hit your back button. I'll write a song about my aching heels in a little bit to make this musical.

In the meantime, my podiatrist wants me to spend a bundle on custom orthotics for my Birks in order to help out my arches. The technical name is plantar fasciitis.

Anyone have experience with that or with orthotics? The exercises I've been doing have definitely helped, so I am wondering if I really need to spend the money for the inserts, too.

Thanks
