 Why would I need orthotics?  There's nothing wrong with my feet and you can't correct my shallow hip sockets by putting orthotics in my shoes????

sorry RB, just I heard that orthotics can help with hip pain and I just really wanted your opinion as you are a much more experienced and I am sure better runner than me!!

Nic, I believe orthotics are used for all sorts of mis-alignments and structural probs and can be very beneficial for lots of things. I think Runningbears issue is not fixable with them though, but if you speak to your quack/podiatrist about your problems, I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction?~

 I believe that orthotics are sold to line the pockets of all sorts of specialists and can be very benefical for their bank balances.........

 No worries, they've never been suggested for me, I thought you knew something about them that might be applicable to me but I couldn't work out how, lol.

And as for being a better runner or more experienced, I've done a few races and been running a year, I've learnt a lot about my problems in that year 'cos I've had a few of them and I have a fab running coach who explains everything to me
