Silicon Dynamic orthotics

I am not a podiatrist, nor have I played one on TV. I have been selling tennis shoes to tennis players for 51 years/. I sell Spenco off the self orthotics. But, I wear Dr Kiper's Silicon Dynamic orthotics. After trying various podiatrist designed custom hard orthotics without relief, I had tarsal tunnel surgery on my right foot. I still had no relief even after having more custom orthotics made, until I met Dr Dennis Kiper at a runner's convention. Because of the scar tissue around the nerve in my arch, conventional orthotics annoyed the nerve. But the softness of the silicon gel supported the arch without putting too much pressure on the nerve. The silicon gel solved a problem that had bothered me for over 20 years. So while this may not conform to the wisdom of the majority of podiatrists, it solved my problem. While the gel may work for running and ordinary walking, it is too unstable to play tennis in. Also, I find I have to replace a pair about every two years when the envelope bursts. But without the gel orthotics I am in pain.
