Looking for the best sneaker?

Hello,

First of all I am sorry that you have this pain which prevents you from walking/working normally.

However, from your description it is very hard to determine exactly what is wrong with your arches. It could be as simple as general soreness from being on your feet all day to, or even a case of Plantar Fasciitis.

I would prefer to tackle this issue not just by recommending a shoe, but to help further.

In order to achieve that we need a proper diagnostic.

Please answer these questions:

1) Is it sensitive to the touch/press on it?

2) Do you have high or low arches in your feet?

3) Is there any redness or bruising visible?

4) Where exactly is the pain located in the foot (is it towards your heel)?

5) Do you have "extra" pain when you first get up in the morning and take a few steps?

6) What kind of shoes do you usually wear (when not working)?

7) Did you start any sport activity lately?

Here are a few things you can do right now:

1) In general you should be completely resting your feet - Minimize walking / standing and see if there is some improvement.

2) Ice your foot at least 4 times a day, either by applying ice directly or by rolling a frozen bottle under your heel and arch when you sit down.

3) Massage the area to speed up healing.

4) Wear supportive shoes around the house as well.

Again, if you can answer my questions I would be happy to assist you further, as well as recommend a show for your foot type.

You can write to me directly if you prefer, my email is in my Yahoo profile or itaiw@yahoo.com

Feel Better!
