Thanks for your quick reply Lisa. I don't think it's my shoes as I went to the New Balance store and bought the best walking shoes they have and I bought special insoles for flat feet. These cramps are pretty random I can't think of anything that I do that would be the cause. Funny thing is I had a total knee replacement on June 25th.2018 and I was dreading getting cramps while it would have been so hard to get out of bed to stretch or walk it off and for whatever reason I did not get any for about 8 weeks post-op.?????

Hello @jimk849

I have been following this discussion you began. I just saw your comment about knee surgery earlier this year. Did you have physical therapy afterwards? I have Parkinson's and tend to have muscle tightness including the instep that you mentioned. In physical therapy I received some easy exercises for the instep cramping. If you call your physical therapist he/she might be able to help you with that.
