Good insoels for shoes?

[racketbu]

Recently I have messed up my feet playing tennis and got myself plantar fasciitis even when wearing some pretty expensive running shoes with good support.. (but I don't think it is that good anymore). I was hoping that some one could tell em more about "insoles you can buy and put inside shoes.. are they worth the money.. for extra support or not... even though I have already bought a pair of expensive shoes.. I aint got anymore money for a pair of custom soles.. noway Im already bankrupt....

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Maybe foot exercises might help?

Iv just found some "carbon fiber ones" ere but... should I get those ones or does it make no difference what the insoles are made from. I just really want to get rid of this foot pain.. especially as here in the UK the weather is picking up again and I really want to go back playing.

Can only speak for myself, but I'm pretty flat-footed and currently rocking Superfeet Blacks in my Barricade Vs. Love the hell out of them.

Exactly what I have

I bought some of those Cadence insoles during the happy hour a week or so ago. They feel real nice.

I experimented with a lot of insoles including foot doctor prescribed customized ones, other expensive insoles with very firm supports, soft supports. I did this
for my over-pronating feet for last 15 years or so.

They all have certain merits and short comings. And I got to know what is good for my feet and what is not.

I ended up as following
1. For daily life: spenco or any other insole with firm support
2. For sports activity: any cheap insole - soft to medium firm.

And I customize/experiment with either silicon pastes or just fat window shielding tapes on these insoles and find good extra supports.

For my plantar fasciitis last summer I've used:
Dr. Scholl's active (with plastic reinforcement in the arch) and removed the stock insoles from Nike (CBs and Lunars) and Asiscs (GR5 clay).

Use the same for walking/work.

Don't forget stretching though, like 5 sets per day of 10 stretches (basically bent your knees with the soles flat on the floor).
