It took a long time but most of the time I am free of pain. That is with shoes on. I cannot stand or walk on hard floors or tile more than just a few steps barefoot. And dress shoes are tough. I wear only SAS shoes now, but dress shoes only last a short time before the feet scream.

I wear orthodics also and they have made a big difference,i was taking 6 ibuprophen a day just to make it thru the day,I used to wear the expensive shoes,but not anymore.I found that they didnt last any longer than the cheaper ones which is about 6 months for me before i needed to replace them.I also put shoes on as soon as I get dressed and leave them on until I go to bed.

I have a friend who is married to a Chinese man and they do not allow shoes in their home. I have tried to explain to her that I cannot walk around on her hard floors. I don't go there often and when I do, I stay on the carpet. I don't think she realizes how painful it is for some of us to go barefoot!

You and I have the same exact feet problem. My feet have been killing me for years. About 4 months ago I gave in and bought some Skechers Shape-ups. It took awhile to get used to balancing in them because the bottoms are rounded and squishy but they sure are like walking on a cloud.
These are the one's I got..... and now they are on sale!

I bought the best (very pricey) shoes for my syndrome, Ariel by Brooks shoes, but the ridge is starting to hurt my feet alot (I wear shoes from the moment I step out of bed until I go to bed, ugh). So I was thinking about buying gel arch supports, my doc said those are horrible but I really want to try them. And there is no way I can afford to pay $400 for custom orthodics for one pair of shoes....help, please tell me I am not the only one :-(
