Happy Feet with 2ft Orthotics!!

I used to suffer from chronic foot pain which sometimes crept until my back, and I kept ignoring it. I gave myself reasons like, maybe I ran too much today (I like sports and run about 20 km/week on average), I stood for too long, even things like - it is very humid today! I kept postponing it until when my wife said that she had enough of always having to carry everything by herself. We were going to have a baby soon, and she was afraid of having to carry around the baby all the time, as I was always complaining about my leg pain.
