Yes CP mine is much better now that I have been wearing the shoes, i think it is called planter faciatis (spelling is probably wrong)
after I walked around the shops (before new shoes) I could hardly walk when I got home so annoying. It would be good if more shoes were available

Another part of the problem, is inflammation of the ligament attachment on the bottom of the heel - the structure that supports the arch.

Putting a pad in the shoe just adds more pressure on that point.

What you need is a pad that is shaped like a horseshoe - so the outer edges of the heel support your weight and there is an open space for the irritated spot.   There are "gel heel cups"  which are cup-shaped silicone with a very soft center and firmer outer rims.

You can take a regular heel pad and cut the center out.  


Thanks Andie I have seen the gel heel pads I might see how they work for longer walks

 .....I really shouldn't have, but I felt it was a fitting send off for my now deceased, whim shopping budget

What do you pay if I may ask? We pay $140-$160 a month and that includes our home line and calls, fax, Internet with 25 GB , and 2 mobiles on a $20 plan. We get free local calls and both have a free hour on our mobiles.

we pay about $650 combined a month, 2 x home lines, 1 x business, 1 x fax, 2 x mobiles. Internet is with iinet. There must be a better deal out there.

Phew. I am sure there must be a better deal. Play them off each other.

Maddy, I pay $500 a month for 5 mobiles, 1 home phone, and 7G internet.  Mobiles have up to $800 calls a month, plus SMS, and data.

Work is $200 a month, for 100 G of internet, 2 phone lines, 1 fax lines, and all calls.

I wouldn't have clue what we pay    DH takes care of it and I'm glad he does as I look after our insurances and that is enough to deal with.
