[SportsandRec] Shoe inserts for runners

[Jessica Reed]

good morning all,

How many runners on the list use or have used the expensive shoe inserts, specifically if you only use them on 1 foot?  15 years ago, almost, I ran a few marathons.  I had to stop due to significant IT band issues.  I also have one leg that is very slightly shorter than the other, which I understand is not that uncommon.  Recently, someone suggested I use an insert on one side.  Has anyone had luck doing this?  As a blind runner, does it throw you off even more to have an insert only on one side?  Which type of inserts would people recommend? I am willing to pay to have custom ones made.  Do inserts help with pronation?  Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, and happy fitness!
Jessica
