Hmmm, well that's the basic idea behind orthotics - is for you to be able to do things w/o pain. I can go w/o mine say, to sit in the office all day, but anything remotely active or involving lots of walking, and I need my inserts. I don't even really wear heels as it tends to give me knee pain.


So you do good in the flats but not as well in the hills? I'd say you are a budding time trialist
