    Thanks everyone. Visited a podiatrist today. My trainers I’ve been using are apparently not much good beyond walking to the shop!

    New trainers (£120) have been recommended and/or off the shelf £65 insoles… but they won’t work in my current trainers.  Or for wet weather, walking shoes/boots lightweight with arch support, stiffer footbed and ankle support. Removable insoles are good as then if I do need different insoles or custom ones then it’s easier.

    She did say it was good to come to her first before buying footwear.

    thanks for the suggestion of seeing a posiatrist. 

    Apparently if I carry on ignoring my stage 1 issue then it could eventually escalate to needing surgery. 

    Just need to adjust my budget now….
