My sports orthopedic person recommended Sorbothane inserts.  I never followed up and bought them, but FWIW>

Hey, Ladies!

I haven't been running so much lately because I'm having knee problems again : (   Recently, it's come to my attention that it's most likely from extreme over-pronating on the side I broke my ankle a few years back-- I never got any rehab and it's coming back to haunt me. 

Anyway, I'm thinking of checking out those inserts that I keep seeking them do fittings for at races before I think about spending $3-400 on custom orthotics.  I saw them at the fitness pavilion for Iron Girl and Tufts 10k most recently.  Does anyone know the name of that company?  I can't for the life of me remember! 

Does anyone remember what those were called?  I've had no luck trying to track them down online.  Or has anyone had good/bad experiences with other orthotic products?  I'd appreciate any input you guys have.

Thanks all,

Mina
