I have only really got serious about my running in the last couple of years and finally decided to go to a professional running shop at the start of this year to have my gait checked and to take some advise from someone who new what they were talking about. I was in training for the London marathon and finding that distance running was playing havoc with my knees. A pair of dual layer running socks and a decent set of orthotic trainers later left me wondering why I hadn't been to a professional before - I can't stress how important it is for a newb runner to shell out on professionally fitted footwear. Anyway, as bad luck would have it swine flu prevented me from getting to the start line this year but I have a place for next year to run the London marathon and am really starting to kick into training mode again now.

I had slightly different experience with new technology insoles: http://www.runnerchoice.com/?p=90 Also in my blog there is a post about special plaster I found for those blisters you mentioned - you must try it nets time. I had the blisters for quite a while due to the high support in the arch area as well. Nice post – I am sure you were frustrated during that deriod of finding the right solution for you.

Orthotic interventions as you know can take time to get right. Adjustments to devices are quite normal, but hopefully you have the corrections you need now. I think it is always best to return to the prescribing podiatrist in the first instance. Best of luck with them! I’m sorry you had a bad experience with a podiatrist.
