Thanks for the advice, Muttley and Joolska

Thanks

Hi, M Marianne, Which orthotics do you use?

Thanks, I think. Very contrasting views indeed.

The physio suggests that my flat feet are causing me to over pronate, which is causing pain in my hip, which is in turn causing pain in my back and legs.   

If I start running bare foot or in minimalistic shoes will the problem still persist?

Or if I go for the orthotics or arch support would I need them in all my shoes eg; my work shoes (which I spend 8 to 10 hours a day in) and my running shoes etc.

Sorry to go on but I am really enjoying my running at the moment and if I do a parkrun on a saturday I am in pain most of the week.

I was treated by a physio today, (sore hip, and back) she suggested I have flat feet and need Orthotic insoles, and directed me to some on thier company website.

But the ones suggested cost over £40, do I need to be paying this much for a decent pair, also any suggestions on which are best to use.
