Doctor created an orthotics to help with foot pain

About the solution

In the last few years, due to aging, no doubt, foot pain has become a problem. Lonnie believes the condition is plantar fasciitis as well as some minor arthritis pain. Whatever the condition, he decided to try and alleviate the pain without drugs and or store bought orthotics.

Since they didn't work out, he came up with the idea of making arch supports and insoles out of available materials, hence these instructables, so you could easily gather some materials, and create your own arch supports, saving money!
