The foot is always in motion and under enormous pressure from the body's weight. The pressure on the heel when walking can be up to 1.5 times one's body weight and up to 3.5 times when running. As you walk or run, your entire weight lands on your feet, up to 15,000 times a day.
Several factors will vary the stress we put upon our feet such as: 1) the hours we spend on our feet, 2) the type of surface we stand on, 3) the type of footwear we wear, 4) our body weight + load we're carrying, 5) type of activity, and 6) any relevant medical conditions.Being supported by a sound structure underneath us can make the difference between having pain and fatigue or not.

Walking is the best exercise for your feet. It also contributes to your general health by improving circulation, contributing to weight control, and promoting all-around well being. Your feet mirror your general health. Conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, nerve and circulatory disorders can show their initial symptoms in the feet - so foot ailments can be your first sign of more serious medical problems.
When you first wear your orthotics, it is normal for the orthotics to feel strange; however, properly fitting orthotics should not cause any new pain, blistering or redness. If this does occur, remove the orthotics and make an appointment with your pedorthist for an adjustment. Although symptomatic relief will not usually occur over night, consistently wearing your orthotics for a period of time will realign your foot and allow healing to occur.
