Foot orthotics

Hey everyone,

I had severe leg pain last year while walking. When I awoke, the first few steps out of bed were painful.
As a result, my weight began to rise due to lack of exercise and decreased walking. My feet began to hurt even more as a result of this.
With the changes and adding steps into my day, I got more movement; they started to hurt less and less. It’s been a long since I’m planning to consider treatment for this. My friend suggested foot orthotics. Can someone share the pros and cons of foot orthotics? It would be a great help for me.
