[Beef]

I have had flat feet all of my life. Like MR2, I guess I just didn't know any better. In the last decade plus I have had knee and SI joint issues as a result of some of the joint instability caused by flat feet. For the last four years I've worn custom orthotics. What your podiatrist says about them preventing further damage is true. And at 58, it's all about preservation.

But I would go a step further and say it has resolved most of my knee issues and I no longer have SI joint problems. I no longer run more than 3-4 miles, but I no longer hurt afterwards. The brand I have is called "FootLevelers." I really wish I'd gone this route sooner. Good luck!
