Hi, I am a 2 1/2 yr sufferer of pf, and have been through all almost all the rx listed on this site. the custom orthotic has really made a big difference in my comfort, along with birkenstock sandal. I easily switch from reebock dmx with the custom orthotic and the birk only. no other shoe is comfortable. In fact I have aufull pain without the orthotic in the athletic shoes. The orthotic I have are made of cork and spenco top. The cork is cut out at the site of the fascitis and a foam insert is in its place, so they do not put any pressure on the fascitis site. the orthotic is custom to my feet so it corrects my gait also. My insurance did not cover them , but my friend fought her insurance co and they did cover the cost. I cannot believe insurance company consider orthotic a optional or cosmetic item, not nec. , let them spend a day in my feet without the orthotic. Painfull. good luck eileen
