Hi all,
I have flat feet and went to see a podiatrist because I get achy feet around the arch area and ankles feel weak, and calves sometimes ache. My podiatrist recommended I get some custom orthotics which cost $500.
I went home to put the inner soles in my shoes and at the heel of my shoe sits high. So, when I put my foot in and walk, my heel/ankle slides out!
Who has had this problem with orthotics?
What are my options with my podiastrist in regards to returning them?
This cost $600, and I already cut around the front of the inner soles to match the sole of the shoe.
Quite annoyed now, since I don't have my custom orthotics to use. So what can I use in the mean time?
Thanks in advance!

Yes I have. It's quite annoying that its come to this. Do you feel the aches in the arches or weakness in the fibula area when you walk on concrete or tile? I do. But if I walk on floor boards, it's not so bad. Is this a common thing with people with flat feet?

I know yor problem happened to me but the NHS here provided them. Could only use them with certain shoes. I've had right foot nidfusion so I don't wear them noW. Have you tried removing the current insole and then put in the orthotic I found it helped
