Since December I have acquired 5 pairs of Birkenstocks (some on sale, and all on plastic). These are expensive ugly shoes -- but for me they help considerably. It is entirely in the arch. The heel bed is low, the arch is high. It takes some people awhile to get used to them; it only took me about 3 days but other report up to 2 weeks. The minute my arch goes into a shoe that doesn't have such powerful support -- I can feel the difference immediately. Back to Birks.
I also take 2000 mgs of glucosamine sulfate and about 1500 mgs of vitamin C per day. Don't know if they are helping or not. But I am feeling somewhat better lately and so I have decided not to stop doing what I've been doing.
