Should I get orthotics?

Answer :

answer:Painful feet can ruin your waking hours. Try the gadgets in http://www.footsmart ( I use innersoles w. gel pads, for example, for plantar fascitis) first. The catalog sells a dozen inserts for flat feet. Maybe one of them would work. You may have to get a shoe 1/2 size up and experiment. If you have a broken arm, you wear a cast. Is that "overly dependent"? There may be stretches you can do to raise arch, using your hands to pull your feet in various ways. Orthotics are, indeed, very costly, and have to be replaced regularly since they break down.
