I have a number of Spenko insoles. I think that at my next appointment with the pain specialist I'll ask him about me seeing a foot specialist.

I buy most of my shoes at thrift stores. I know. I never thought I'd do that. But I look through the shoes at every store and look for any in my size that look brand new. I'm pretty picky when it comes to shoes. The first thing I look for is size, then I look at the toe bed, and make sure there's no wear on the soles. Then I try them on, and then I take whatever insoles I'm wearing that day and put them in the "new" shoes and walk around the store.

A few years ago I lined up all of my shoes and cowboy boots and was a little surprised to find that I had 55 pair of shoes. I managed to delete a few that were duplicates. I have a rack in the walk in closet, a row of them under my bed and under my chest of drawers, and I have a bunch of them in my study, mostly my cowboy boots.

I had lost hope of ever wearing my boots, but I wore a pair of lacers on Sunday and because of the new medication, my feet didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought they would.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
