I called at my local cobblers and asked for some gel inserts, my feet used to kill me due to walking a lot at the weekend, the cobbler told me not to mess about with anything like that, he gave me some simple sole inserts to fit in my boots, nothing fancy, just plain simple inserts, i kind of laughed and said that they wouldnt be any good, he assured me that they would mould to my feet, he said put them in and forget about them, he was indeed right, within a short time all the pain was gone, i was utterly amazed,i think they only cost 3 or 4 pound, i can find out what make they were if you are bothered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
markfor   10 #15 Posted October 29, 2018 Can you tell me what cobbler? Or Name /Brand of insole Did they have arch support? Thanks  I called at my local cobblers and asked for some gel inserts, my feet used to kill me due to walking a lot at the weekend, the cobbler told me not to mess about with anything like that, he gave me some simple sole inserts to fit in my boots, nothing fancy, just plain simple inserts, i kind of laughed and said that they wouldnt be any good, he assured me that they would mould to my feet, he said put them in and forget about them, he was indeed right, within a short time all the pain was gone, i was utterly amazed,i think they only cost 3 or 4 pound, i can find out what make they were if you are bothered  ---------- Post added 29-10-2018 at 09:18 ----------  I had new boots and ankle collar rubbed on back of achilles tendon so I had to give up wearing them!   Can I just ask, is the pain under the bottom of your heels or around the back?  If you have any pain or burning around the back of your heels after a walk then that is actually to do with your Achilles tendons and could be related to pressure from your boots on the tendons as you walk, and this very much needs immediate action to prevent permanent damage to the tendons.

Treeman893 Â Â 10 #16 Posted October 29, 2018 I had Plantar Fasiitis for 10 months. Firstly because I ignored my Physio sons advise to rest it. Secondly I tried all the cheap inserts, gel inserts. Ordered some of the proper PF inserts off Amazon, bit expensive but they worked 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Treeman893 Â Â 10 #18 Posted October 29, 2018 From what my lad tells me it depends where the inflammation is in the Plantar(the membrane that runs under all of your foot). The inserts I had supported around the edge of the heel so took the pressure off the centre of the heel where my inflammation was.
