“When you walk into some of the pharmacy stores, there are just so many over-the-counter foot products that it can be overwhelming,” says Gideon J. Lewis, DPM  and founder of the Foot and Ankle Sports Medicine Institute.  Dr. Lewis refers to these products as the fast-food of foot products. “So I recommend you use this analogy when looking at these products and use them in moderation,” says Dr. Lewis.

“It’s funny when your feet hurt, your whole body hurts. When you have heel pain or arch pain most people want a fast treatment. Taking time to go see a doctor can be cumbersome. My usual recommendation is instead of purchasing an over-the-counter insert from a pharmacy or supermarket, I suggest going to a specialized running shoe store. Even though you might pay a few more dollars, most of the time the product will be superior,” says Dr. Lewis.
