I'm sorry to hear about this latest problem.
I have been wearing customized plastic orthotics for over last 10 yrs.
Whenever I received a brand new pair of orthotics, I would insert them for only the following shoes:
*brand-new or barely used shoes. I never used orthotics for worn shoes that pre-date the orthotics. 'Cause those particular shoes have been worn down according to the footbase pattern WITHOUT the orthotic. Therefore a new orthotic to correct a problem will not correct a shoe worn down according to your previous foot/gait pattern.
Yes, of course, as a result I did have to discard some old shoes / just reserve them for special occcasion wear without an orthotic. Small sacrifice for long-term relief of foot pain was the way how I saw it. And of course, orthotics, completely changes (and limits) the range of shoe styles for future purchases if worn with orthotic.
*good quality shoes where the foot bed is reasonable neutral or flat before you insert the orthotic.
Would be interested in hearing what you learn about correcting an ill-fitting orthotic.
