    YES!!! I would be lost without mine. It is a big part of what keeps my workout routine going. Guess that means I am getting old. Hahaha.

    My husband's running pains went away as soon as he started using them.

    What kind? I have specially-made inserts I have to wear, too. They made an immediate difference for me. I'm able to stand & walk for over an hour at a time now, where before my feet hurt badly after only a few minutes.

    Yes...good orthotics will improve your quality of life. I spent 13 years standing for 8-12 hours on a concrete floor and had gotten so I couldn't make it through the day. Once I started wearing them, I could work for long hours and feel great. I have them for my flip flops and sandals too. There are a lot of inexpensive generic ones that work for some people but I graduated up to custom fit ones through my podiatrist. I can't endorse them highly enough.

    These are specially made as well...I think the brand is Foot Max?
