    I have the green in a couple pairs of my shoes. Doesn't matter if folks tell you one color or another is "for" a particular sport, get the insole that suits your foot structure and mechanics. (green DON'T have a met button)

    It sounds like you have a dropped 2nd met head. A met button could really help support your collapsed met arch, which you can buy for about $10 a pair and have put on your favorite insoles (make sure the shoe store KNOWS what they are doing!) or you can buy insoles that already have the met button on them. (Superfeet berry, for example)

    I've seen many of my patients "cure" or at least alleviate their metatarsalgia by strengthening the muscles that support their metatarsal arch and restoring the 2nd met head to it's correct position. (I've done it with my own feet.)

    I've got to go to bed, but somewhere on TE are a list of intrinsic foot muscle exercises I posted. Search "intrinsic" or "fist and splay" and give them a try?

    Edit: here they are. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...ighlight=splay
