It turns out I don't need inserts that's what actually caused all my running pain...but I do need new shoes. I'm trying to get the special ones that they mold to your feet so they are just right for you.
But inserts do help a lot. You could either get insert or go to one of those shoe places that will help you find the right shoe for you. Since your flat footed you need support on your arch. They will be able to suggest the right kind of shoes from sneakers to dress shoes. I don't know if they have a "Foot Solutions" around you but you might.
You know, I think there is one of those store near me...it sounds familiar at least. I'll have to look into that - maybe on my next trip my feet won't ache so badly!
Thank you for posting your 2.5 day pedometer update. I have been encouraging my DH to buy a comfy pair of "walking sandals" before our Easter trip, but he insists his broken in Sketchers will be OK. After telling him your mileage, he is reconsidering! (He better hurry so there's time to break them in!)
BTW - Great trip report!!! We are two without kids 20-/30-somethings who are going together and it's great to read a TR for people in the same situation!
Thank you! I'm so glad to have you reading along. I agree, there aren't many TR's with childless couples so it's nice when you find some.
How exciting that my pedometer reading might actually help someone! I hope he will consider some walking shoes!
