My feet hurt MORE at night when I get off my feet.

Pain that gets worse with standing and walking, is very different, IMO.

A carefully made orthotic from a podiatrist here is over $300.00.
Probably more now. I bought a pair for my son who had some pronation issues, and they fixed it right up. He was walking so much at college he was becoming incapacitated by the pain.

I chose the softer ones, which I was told was recommended for diabetics with painful feet.

I knew right after using it for a month that it wont help. But, at the time I bought it, I was just new with my neurological symptoms so I grabbed (desperate) every opportunity which I thought would help.
