Re: Feel Fine in '99 - Just say YES!

Sandy I am trying to send you e-mail direct. But it keeps coming back. My address is devlin@ptinet.net I have already received mail from another user, so I guess she found my address somehow. It is not listed properly on the message board.
I wanted to step out of the message board to continue our conversation. I have too much to say to keep posting under the same heading!!!
I ordered a catalog from the site Berkenstocks. It came in less than one week. They sell inserts too. I purchased indoor shoe today and plan to make them into berks. We have a store here. I live near Seattle (Berk Country) on an island. There are many stores with Berks.
I do not have high arches. I think my feet may be on the flat side. I will know more after my appointment on the 13th.
As for the pain after your bike ride. Two suggestions: 20-30 minutes is good. Perhaps after you finish place ice packs on your feet for 10-15 minutes to reduce any sweeling. Followed by stretching and deep pressure massage (done by you or your spouse) Then treat your feet to a nice cream or rub with a roller ball. It will take about 10 more minutes to your routine, but then what is time when you can have an hour of less pain.
I am also if firefighter and firstresponder and my boots are killers. I will try these inserts in my boots. By the end of an hour in the boots I am ready for aid myself. It makes for a very cranky citizen!
Happy feet to you
Hope to hear from you soon--Mary D
PS All others welcomeed too.
