  Here I just wanted to talk shoes and recommend some decent merino wool socks.

    For real tho, my job has me on my feet for the entirety of my shift - I found an awesome insole that makes the day so much less painful, and I 100% pitch that shit to my coworkers when it comes up, cuz foot pain sucks.

    …now this thread has me worried that I’ve been pinned as ‘that guy’ lol.

      I’m both of these people. I like foots. But also, I have terrible foot pain due to high arches, and have had mostly jobs where I’m on my feet for hours. I will talk insoles and inserts whenever possible, as a way of helping people with foot pain. What I do not do is have any interest in talking foot stuff as a kink/fetish. Kink and fetish are reserved for consensual bedroom (or camping) times. There’s no connection between the foot pain convos and the foot kink whenever that happens. People who try to stealth their way into nonconsensually getting people to play into their kink are creepy, and not good people.

        You probably won’t have very much luck with over the counter inserts, the vast majority are built to treat people with flat feet who over pronate. Conversely people with high arches tend to supinate, aka carry too much weight on the outside of the foot.

        So most otc inserts will actually make foot pain from higher arches worse, especially if it’s hind foot pain. For my patients with higher arches who lack coverage for custom inserts, I will typically fit them with a pair of Arch Rival from a company called Don Joy, you can usually find them online or Amazon.

        They are pretty decent out of the box at treating cavus arches. However, if someone is having significant ankle pain, I will typically modify it with a small amount of lateral heel wedging.

        Unfortunately, the ones I’m a fan of have been discontinued. It was the Enduro-Sole by Columbia. I lived near a Columbia clearance store when they got axed, and they had a TON of them for super cheap, so I stocked up.

        …and I’m almost out. Q_Q

        What made them good is that they’re made of a rubbery material that gets soft when it’s super hot, so the first thing you’d do when you crack a new pair open is put them in the oven and bake them at like 250* for a few minutes. Take them out, quickly put them in your shoes, step in, and just walk a bit until they cool.

        It was hot enough to be uncomfortable, but not so much that you’d actually get burned. Kinda like molding a mouth guard from boiling water.

        Anyway, once it conformed to your feet and then cooled, that shape became permanent, so even with a brand new stiff-ass pair of shoes, you pop those insoles in and it’d feel like they’ve been broken in for years.

        There’s probably something else on the market that works the same way, but I haven’t actually searched, since I’ve never needed to; but the Columbia ones at least are SO comfortable!
