They have arrived.

[Realfoodieclub]

I went for my orthotics today. Gentle weaning myself into them is called for and would you know I have a bad back from a hike last Wednesday so I have to take it ultra careful with them, but I’m excited to start my journey with these expensive beauties.

[mrrun Ultramarathon]

Nice one! Similar gear saved me, it will work for you too!

[Realfoodieclub Marathon in reply to mrrun]

Thank you. I am feeling very hopeful.

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to Realfoodieclub]

It took me a few walks/runs to hit it right because at times the feet hurt a bit but once it all fell in the right place l started thinking “why didn’t l do that before”. Let us know how you get on!

[Realfoodieclub Marathon in reply to mrrun]

Will do.

[skysue16 Half Marathon]

Hope they work for you ☺

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Very exciting!!! xxx

[Realfoodieclub Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Thank you, I’m taking them out for a walk today, only allowed an hour.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Good luck with them Realfoodie and hope your back is better soon, too! 🙂

[Realfoodieclub Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you, just been out and so far back is less niggly all ready.

[Fionn42]

Good luck, they will make your running so much better - also will make your back better! I’m now on my second set - wore the first set out over three years of constant wear and Jane been completely injury free in my running since I started wearing them.

Take it steady now!

[Realfoodieclub Marathon in reply to Fionn42]

Thank you, I have taken them out for a spin and I can tell already we are going to be good mates 😀. I could walk faster with less effort already. Because of my back just walking this week with 1 hour increases then start running next week. Funnily enough I am really excited, I can just feel I have been needing these for a long time without knowing that was what was missing 😀. Three years wow, are they the plastic moulded ones, I thought they would last longer MrRfc has had his for 15 years but he dosent run.

[Fionn42 in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Mine are actually carbon fibre and we’re moulded for my feet from plaster casts taken by my podiatrist with my feet held in the correct position to shape the casts. I have to wear mine all the time when upright - at home, in slippers, in everything, as I’m wonky through my spine and hips. Didn’t realise until I got a stress fracture in my ankle bone when I started running - then my wonky ness caused the fracture so was spotted and now sorted via the orthotics - yay! Hideously expensive though - the replacement pair were £300+ last month 😱. Worth it though😊.

[Realfoodieclub Marathon]

Hehe mine where In that region 😱. But he has said wear them all the time when I have built up, even at home but in time as I heal I will be having a break from them and I might even be able to go months without them as long as I always wear them for my long distances walks and runs, So hopefully I will get some longevity out of them.

[ju-ju- Marathon]

Wow... hopefully they will serve you well.. they look proper job!

[Realfoodieclub Marathon in reply to ju-ju-]

Thank you, Hehe they should at the price 😳😳😳.

[Irish-John Marathon]

Fingers firmly crossed for you RAS.

[Realfoodieclub Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

Thank you. So far so good. Can’t wait for Monday to take them out for their first run, just walking so far.

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Very wise to break them in ☺

[sallenson]

Good luck with them, hon xx

[Bluebirdrunner]
