For the past year I have developed pain in my metatarsals. My dad swears by his custom orthotic insoles and suggested I look into it. So the doc said my feet are flat enough that it is putting pressure on joints. He fitted me for a pair of insoles and I have been wearing them for about two weeks now and it has really made a difference in not only my running but also when I have to stand for long periods of time. Anyone who may be experiencing similar symptoms may want to look into this.
