Hello All,
I have been suffering from heel pain for the past few months after injuring myself with a powerful jet of water in a swimming pool. Recently, I bought a pair of sandals bearing the brand name Bio that have given enormous relief. The sandals and some rest has practically alleviated all pain. Nevertheless I have pain when I wear my normal shoes and go out.
Having looked at the options I find that I could either get an insole insert or buy new shoes. The insole insert that looks most promising is Orthaheel. Birkenstock shoes look good too but are a far more pricey option. I have been advised that given my experience with Bio I am better off with Birkenstock since Bio are a cheap copy from Vietnam while Orthaheel though good has an entirely different arch support structure. Is there any truth in this view?
I would much appreciate any advice.
