I've got Brooks Ariels, and last week I got a pair of Birkinstock inserts. I don't go barefoot. I've got a pair of vionic tide ll flip flops for around the house. I don't wear heels, or anything without arch support. I know losing weight will help, too. At night i wear a sleeping boot. Time to heal, foot!! When I've had it in the past, it was both feet affected. This time it's just the right. I'm happy the left is not!
