After a long day of walking or standing, people are ready to get off their feet and give them a break.  The structure of our foot can affect how much pain we have while walking around or being on our feet.  Dr. Jeffery Dikis, Foot and Ankle Surgeon at McFarland Clinic, talks about some simple remedies we can try at home to get some foot pain relief.

He says there are some custom inserts that do become costly through a doctor’s office.  These are different than the gel cushion inserts.

He says if the gel cushion inserts do not help, people may need extra support with the support inserts.  Dr. Dikis says if people are having foot pain, it could be the shoes you are wearing.

Dr. Dikis says the name brand does not really matter for shoes, it is all about structural support.  Everyone’s foot is a bit different.
