Cheers king. iv'e always suffered from aching feet similar to what you are experiencing, especially when i had cheap shoes with not much in the way of support, i went to my local chemist and there they have a machine you stand on, and it measures and works out your stance on where your heavest, at the end of it, it tells you what insoles you need, so i got the recommended ones, and they are brilliant, i fit them into the footwear i'm using, and i have had no more problems, plus i always buy a better shoe/trainer/boot than a cheap pairs now, you could give that ago....might help you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,725 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I suffered with it for a bit the gel socks worked tidy but my feet would sweat. I bought some anti friction plaster things to go in my boots and not had a problem since. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 SORBOTHANE insoles King! I had Plantar Fascitis and put these in my rigger boots which I used to wear the most. Around £15-£20 worked for me mate. Go online and read the write ups. Hope you sort it very painful! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 My sister is a podiatrist/chiropodist....I'll ask her and get back to you ! She says that if you're not one for the doctor, medications and such, there are lots of things you can do for yourself...... She says... Especially in the morning, GENTLY walk or stretch off any initial stiffness (ooh Matron !). You should try to 'walk softly' - come down on your foot gently, try to walk a bit slower and definitely no running or jogging !! At the first sign of pain, REST ! Don't be a hero and try to work it off, you'll only make it worse. You can get memory foam or gel heel pads for your shoes, but make sure your shoes fit well - avoid wellies, riggers and other lose fitting footwear. You can also get neoprene support socks, but they need to fit properly, so it's best to see a professional for these. Your footwear should always be well fitting, but not too rigid, so soft soled trainers are better than work boots, if and when you can, as long as they support you arch. When you're at home, don't be standing if you don't need to - a good excuse for sitting on your ar5e, if ever I heard one ! While you're sitting, gently roll a bottle of frozen water or a frozen golf ball under your foot, but make sure you keep it moving ! Use a foot stool to properly take the weight off your foot and rest the damaged muscle. You can take anti-inflammatories (Ibuprofen etc), but for long term use, gels like Voltarol are better, as they're more direct and side effects are much reduced. You can get night splints and various other things, but she says if you follow the above and it hasn't improved in a week or three, you should see your doctor or an appropriate professional. Hope this helps, mate - good luck ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
