I made my own custom inserts, X-Rays in hand, and glueing many EVA spongy rubber sheet cutouts where oval holes of progressive diameter were cut, so final shape was an inverted cone which applied even pressure *around* the spike. Took 6 months to be bearable and 1 year to dissappear, involving a process of de-calcification. If not, does anybody have any idea where I could get a strain gauge or other device which would work?ġ) I also had an incredibly long heel spur, very painful. I really don't care if I look peculiar in the shoe store, in fact I prefer it if the thing works.
The thing wouldn't have to be hugely accurate, just give some kind of proportional reading so I could tell which shoe transmitted the most shock to the heel. I wonder if took apart a motorola horn tweeter, (does Radio Shack still have them?), soldered some wires and connected a multimeter to them if that would fill the bill. īefore I make the switch from the Asics to the Adidas however, I thought it might be both a good idea and some fun to tape some kind of gauge to my heel and try on the sneakers in the store to see which gives the least shock. It's only a little more expensive than what I've been buying.
I still am going to buy new sneakers, (they call them running shoes these days), and still put in the memory foam insert because with my condition I want the absolute softest ride for the foot.Īdidas has just come out with a new material called Energy Boost that is both supposed to return more energy and be more comfortable than the traditional EVA foam used in sneakers. My present day sneakers, bought at Xmas, are already running down but surprisingly, a memory foam insert bought at the Dollar Store is improving things immensely. I have plantar fasciitis and a heel spur.
