[OrRando] Insoles?

[cecilanne at comcast.net]

Thanks, Michael - 

I'll have to check out that article, but if anything my shoes are a little big - but maybe that's also an contributing factor.  I know one factor is my pedaling style, which I am working on, but I think a major problem is vibration from bad roads - which I seem to be riding on a lot, and I am hoping that a new insole might help that  . . .

And how could I forget Sec. Butz?  Actually, what I remember is my mother clapping her hands over my tender 13-year-old ears to keep from hearing that quote when my older brother came running home with the news. . . .
