Ron, I hope your new orthotics work out for you. I’ve been wearing custom orthotics for about ten years now and do like them. The first two pair were great from day 1, but my third pair have not. The first time they made them they weren’t right at all. They sent them back and the owner of the lab said he’d make them himself, but he was out of the country. So I waited. And waited. I have them now, but was told I’d have to break them in. Really? We’ll see. They’re certainly not comfortable as they are. They must fit your feet correctly. And I’ve found that not all shoes will take an orthotic equally.
