Maybe it's a placebo effect, maybe it really did help... I just feel better. If you're preparing to go and you're on the edge about orthotic inserts, do it. You will not regret it, and it's well worth the effort. You take care of your body and your body can take care of you. I see that now.

I appreciate your wisdom gentleman, I really do. Thanks for what you do.

Having your feet properly aligned physiologically will realign everything up stream, good inserts like Superfeet have saved many an injury to SF guys over the years.
