I have flat feet and was wondering if their is any type of shoe or insert that I could use to help with severe foot pain. I stand at least 8 hours a day on concert floors and my feet kill me by the end of the day. My feet hurt so day they are controlling my life and interfere with my job because I can't keep focused because of the pain.

Dear Susan
I would recommend that you try some of the products that aetrex has to offer. I would suggest trying the Lynco orthotics. They are an over the counter type of product that will be able to provide you with support and comfort. If you have the opportunity, you should try to find stores that carry them. There are also custom made orthotics that can be made specifically for you, but does come with a price. You may want to go and see your local Podiatrist for an evaluation. You may also want to try the New Balance type shoes or the Apex Aetrex athletic shoes. Try them on and see which ones best fit your foot type and one that will accommadate your orthotic device.

Good-luck and thank-you for contacting foot.com,
