180918 - Liana found the note prepared by Alyesa last night, reported on
180919 - 111005 1024. ref SDS 6 Z87I
180921 -  ..
180922 - Returned Brooks Glycerin 9, and tried on shoes recommended by Alyesa
180923 - in her note to Liana last night. ref SDS 6 P796
180925 -  ..
180926 - Goal is to avoid "walking uphill" sensation, discovered trying on new
180927 - hiking shoes yesterday on 111005 1024, ref SDS 6 N75M, and to avoid
180928 - numbness along edges of the shoe when hiking, experienced on 111005
180929 - 1024. ref SDS 6 Z53Y, and additionally the shoes need to impart a
180930 - springy, rebound energy with "propulsion" property of adiprene
180931 - cushioning for efficient hiking, reported on 081126 1527. ref SDS 1
180932 - LX7L
180934 -  ..
180935 - Tried Saucony Hurricane recommended by Pam in a letter on
180937 -  ..
180938 - Saucony shoes have less "uphill" feeling, than Brooks Glycerin 9,
180939 - reported during test hiking yesterday on, ref SDS 6 J45J  They seem
180940 - closest to Adidas Response Trail shoes with "adiprene" cushioning,
180941 - explained on 081126 1527. ref SDS 1 LX7L
180943 -  ..
180944 - Will have to hike a distance to evaluate numbness problem that
180945 - occurred yesterday with Brooks Glycerin 9s, reported on 111005 1024.
180946 - ref SDS 6 Z552
180948 -  ..
180949 - Tried the other pair and found they are very comfortable across the
180950 - top of the foot.  They are however more flat, and so impart pronounced
180951 - "uphill" sensation with less rebound energy.
180953 -  ..
180954 - Liana suggested another shoe model that has a higher heel, so there
180955 - is a downhill feeling walking in the shoes.
180957 -  ..
180958 - Tried them but could not notice improvement from higher heal, and
180959 - they were stiffer than the other shoes.
180961 -  ..
180962 - Decided to take the Soucany shoes and try them on a hike today.
180964 -  ..
180965 - Turned out it rained the rest of the day, so will hike tomorrow.
180966 -
180967 -            [On 101010 0744 test hike Lafayette Reservoir 1 lap less
180968 -            than 3 miles, shoes very difficult on feet, numb after 2
180969 -            miles; feels like walking on plywood, and no springy
180970 -            rebound energy. ref SDS 3 Z86F
180972 -             ..
180973 -            [On 101010 0744 longer test hike and with original insoles,
180974 -            much better hike, no numbness, though minimal springy
180975 -            rebound energy either. ref SDS 3 CAGN
180977 -             ..
180978 -            [On 111011 1045 Returned Saucony Hurricane shoes and
180979 -            Superfeet insoles. ref SDS 7 P69M
180981 -  ..
180982 - Mentioned that all of the shoes tried the past week have less arch
180983 - support than the Addida Response Trail shoes.
180985 -  ..
180986 - Liana suggested getting an arch support for an additional $80.
180988 -  ..
180989 - Roadrunner builds customer arch supports with a specialized
180990 - technology.  She said it takes only 10 minutes to create a custom arch
180991 - support.
180993 -  ..
180994 - Went through the process with Liana's assistance of constructing a
180995 - custom arch support.
180997 -  ..
180998 - Liana removed the inner sole from the shoes and installed the just
180999 - constructed arch supports.
181001 -  ..
181002 - Walking on these new inner soles seemed to provide no more arch
181003 - support than the original inner soles.
181005 -  ..
181006 - Explained objective for higher heel, so there is not a sensation of
181007 - walking "uphill," discussed above. ref SDS 0 A08X
181009 -  ..
181010 - Liana suggested trying standard inner sole replacements with elevated
181011 - heels.
181013 -  ..
181014 - We tried two models.  The second model, Superfeet Insole, seemed to
181015 - have better cushioning and provided "rebound energy."

181017 -            [On 101010 0744 longer test hike and with original insoles,

181047 -        The Superfeet GREEN is our most popular insole and has been on
181048 -        the market for over 30 years. It is designed primarily for
181049 -        footwear with a removable insole and is the recommended choice
181050 -        for those seeking maximum support and shock absorption.

181054 -
181055 -        Do Superfeet Insoles help Plantar Fasciitis?
181056 -
181057 -        Yes, in most, but not all cases. The Superfeet Insoles will
181058 -        help hold the rearfoot close to a neutral position. The
181059 -        neutral position will allow for better bone and muscle
181060 -        alignment. This will help reduce some of the stress on the
181061 -        plantar fascia ligament.
