arches

Question
The arches of my feet,and less so my shins,are real sore for a few days after a long jog.I have been going for one every weekend for the last three months
My friends that I jog with think this is unusual because they only feel it in their knees.I only really feel sore in my feet.Can you reccomend some insoles or anything else I could try?

Answer
HELLO BARRY

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE BEST PAIR OF JOGGING OR POWER WALKING SHOES U CAN AFFORD.  I JUST BOUGHT MY DAUGHT TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR POWER WALKING SHOES, HER BACK WAS BOTHER HER, MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.

DO A GOOD WARM UP AND COOL DOWN.  WHEN AT HOME SOME DAYS DO SOME STRETCHING EXERCISES AS WELL, U MUST KEEP THE LEGS AND FEET IN GOOD SHAPE OR CONDITION BY STRETCHING DURING THE WEEK ALOT.

DO LEG LIFTS, SWINGS, JUMPING JACKS AND GET GOOD SHOES, AND U DO NOT NEED INSERTS IF U SPEND THE BUCKS FOR THE BEST IT PAYS OFF.  HOT TUB SOAKS AT NIGHT OF TWENTY MINUTES HELPS LOOSEN UP TIGHT MUSCLES AND LIGAMENTS.

MAKE SURE U DO NOT HAVE DEFECTIVED ARCHES WITH GOING TO A GOOD FOOT DOCTER FOR A RECOMMENDTION ALSO.  I AM NOT A DOCTER BUT I KNOW SUPER GOOD TENNIS SHOES MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.  INSERTS I DO NOT RECOMMEND IF U HAVE TOP SHOES  THEY ARE NOT NEEDED.  IF U HAVE LOW ARCHES OR FALLEN ARCHES GET A FOOT DOCTER TO RECOMMEND FOR YOU.
