I got my orthotics! I was instructed to wear them around (i.e., wear shoes instead of sandals or flip-flops) until my feet hurt, then take them out. Repeat the next day. Well, of course I wanted to try running with them, so I set out on a 5-miler with them the day I got them, and felt like they needed to go after 1.75. After I took them out my shoes felt very flat, and my knees started hurting almost immediately--quite a difference. I could tell that once I am used to them, my knees will be way better, but it definitely is something different to get used to.

I also got taped again (beige), and bought a roll of tape (black with logo)--I let Mats decide what color to get.
