I traveled to Nicaragua in January 2009, at the request of Andy and Gricelie, my friends who live in Belize. They wanted me to meet Andy's parents who live in a small village north of Managua. As much as I wanted to go, I nearly canceled the trip because I was suffering terribly from Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. It was so bad I was in constant pain and limping. But I wanted to see my friends and meet Andy's family, so I went anyway. I'm so glad I did. It was a trip that changed my life. What I discovered can change yours, too.
 
The first day at Andy's family home, his father Andrés noticed my limp. Through Andy's translations – his father speaks only Spanish – Andrés said he could help me relieve the pain in my foot. I was skeptical. After all, I had spent hundreds of dollars on custom insoles, expensive shoes and doctor appointments with no relief. But I was in such agony, I agreed to let him help me. I would do anything to make the pain go away and walk comfortably again.
 
Father's devotion takes away daughter's pain
 
Andy's sister Maria, also visiting her parents at the time, sensed my desperation, and told me her story, again translated by Andy:
 
“I had severe heel pain for more than a year when I finally went to see a doctor. He first gave me insoles to try, but they brought no relief, so he began giving me shots for the pain. On a visit home, my father studied the insoles supplied by my doctor and saw right away that they didn’t support my heel correctly. So he made a pair of insoles for me in his shop. I was walking without pain within two hours."
 
Did I mention Andrés is a shoemaker? This is how a trip to Nicaragua changed my life – and what I discovered can change yours, too.
 

The next morning, Andrés drew the outline of my bare feet on a piece of paper. I went off for a day with Andy, and when we got back that afternoon, Andrés handed me a pair of custom crafted insoles he made in his shop. I was still skeptical. After all, I had forked out $400 for a pair of custom orthotics that offered no relief at all.
 
But now I'm a believer. My experience was the same as Maria's. Within just one hour of slipping the insoles into my shoes, I was walking pain-free and no longer limping.
 
The best $89.95 you'll ever spend
 
Even though I no longer suffer from Plantar Fasciitis, I continue to wear Andrés insoles because they make every pair of shoes so incredibly comfortable! I call these blue wonders Heel-Well insoles. At $89.95 a pair – that's less than the normal cost of custom and doctor-prescribed insoles – you can walk normally again, too.
