Well, the thing I don't know is about the shoes and different activities...

I'm thinking I can't pay for a custom orthotic for each thing. My current shoes I know now don't fit so great. Too tight at the balls for one thing in my sport stuff. Well, I went from classic Uggs boots all winter (no socks, just loose barefoot fancy tall winter slippers, to Old Navy $2.50 flip flops... which I'd still be wearing now even with the chill had the puppy not chewed them. Had to upgrade to the Payless $4.99 pool palm tree flip flops. (theme: hind-sight 20/20 = zero support)

The things my feet need to do besides walking mobility, hiking w/the dog, are... 1) road shoes, 2) mtb shoes, 3) spin class shoes, 4) xc ski boots, 5) snow shoe boots (if I buy them now w/the neuroma *sigh* thinking about the over bindings on the forefoot), 6) quad roller rink skates boots, 7) indoor court shoes (raquetball), and 8) pool... oh YEA, yippie... I don't need shoes there... score for the wet ones.

There's gotta be a way to multi-task some of that ...I hope.
