Doc says very little point to custom orthotics at this point as the changes will continue for a while. Thankfully, wearing my OluKai Ohana flip flops makes my feet feel just about perfect, and it's getting warm enough to wear them more often. Best things EVER!
That makes sense, better to wait until things calm down. I do think that my bad shin splints from the 10 mile hike last October was, in part, because it came just after I started using the new orthotics and I hadn't yet realized that my body would take some time to adjust to them. I can't say I wasn't warned that it might take some time, I just didn't believe him, not really
