When I walk, I duck walk with one foot and twist it back straight before pushing off. In running, this has caused a problem. Now, I did not have a problem when I was younger..... more resiliant and 160 lbs. when wet. Know, I am older,(36 years old), less resiliant, and 190 lbs. If I was lighter and concentrated on my run stride.... I am sure it would help as that is the root of the problem. But, I have found that orthotics alone were not an answer. But, someone who knows orthotics was. I had a really good guy make my orthotics in Wisconsin and he would watch me run in them and adjust the orthotics by placing additional material under the orthotic that forced my foot into the proper gait and run stride. After running over and over, I find myself walking straighter as my body gets use to the movement. Orthotics alone with only added instep arch support is probably not the answer alone.

I'm still looking for something that works properly. I’ve had so many problems with orthotics. I’m still looking for something that works properly.
