Do you have high Arches in your feet?

Do you have high Arches in your feet? You might be experiencing nerve issues or pain.. Let me explain and see if you fall in this category.

If you are flat footed, this may not pertain to you. But you can still read it.. lol,,,

There are nerves running down your hammies( well everwhere ) but I'm talking about the ones going down your ham strings.. They go under your feet or some do. Well here is where your arches come into play.

If your shoe arch supports are not helping your arches then your going to have pain, tingling, leg falls asleep, that type of thing..

Getting good arch supports for your feet will reduce or eliminate this problem.

It did for me.. I have custom made Orthordics for my shoe. I wear them with every pair of shoes I have. I no longer have any pain or tingling or falling asleep issues.. Prolong non use of good arch supports will cause permanent damage.

Maybe your experiencing this issue and did not know what it was, well now you have a place to start looking.. See there you learn something new everyday..

I have high arches, but my feet are so big, they don't carry orthotics on my shoe size.

most don't,, but you can have them custom made.

Yeah, but the ones that the specialist suggested was these ones that were like $45 (canadian currency) but to have them special made was going to be like $100+ (US currency because they'd have to send away for them)

Mine where 290 us dollars a piece.. My health insurance paid for them completely..

My health insurance is a filthy whore, and wouldn't pay for anything. But my Indian Affairs said they would cover half, but I was like "Nah, I've been fine with out them for 16 years, I don't need them now."

Mine weren't bad, but they were quite a bit higher than most.
