OTC vs custom insoles/orthotics
Hi everyone!
I’ve recently started experiencing pain in both feet that seems to be related to Morton’s neuroma.
I’m currently doing physiotherapy, and I’ve been using cheap Dr. Scholl’s Tricomfort insoles for a while. Surprisingly, they seem to help quite a bit for now, but I know they’re not really designed to last very long.
So I’m now considering higher-quality orthotics, and I’m trying to figure out how long different types typically last and whether custom orthotics are actually worth the extra cost.
BTW, I’m a freelancer, so yay! No insurance. 😅
I’d really appreciate it if you could share what kind of orthotics/insoles you use, how long they’ve lasted, whether they’ve helped with your Morton’s neuroma, and anything else you think might be useful. I'm meeting my podiatrist soon, so I'd like to be informed in advance.
I’m a woman, so I’d especially love to hear from other women about what has worked for them.
Thanks so much!
