Should I get orthotics?

Asked by sfgal (283points) June 16th, 2007

I have very flat feet, and the podiatrist recommended that I get the expensive, custom-made orthotics. They cost 500 dollars and my insurance won't cover it. Plus the cost of buying new shoes, since i hear you need to wear a half-size larger if the orthotics are in. Worth it? I'm also concerned that you can get overly dependent ("addicted?") to wearing them. Thoughts?
