i have hard to fit feet and have developed tendonitis in my right foot that is very painful. shoes that i had been wearing for years (the same style, not the same pair) all of a sudden no longer fit as well. the slipping of my heel in the shoe caused tendonitis to develop and i'm limping everywhere.

because my feet are so oddly shaped and ultra narrow, the podiatrist advised me to have custom shoes made. i've priced them and they will cost close to $2500. trouble is, i've had custom orthodics made several times and they have never worked very well. a lot of shoe sales people have also ripped me off. so, i'm not very trusting. has anyone had success treating foot pain with custom made shoes?
