So is the consensus on over the counter solutions Spenco then?

My left foot is completely flat and my right foot has a very small arch. I went through at least two different custom orthotics when I was younger, but they never helped, only hurt and caused blisters. Part of the problem is that I used to run cross country and a piece of solid plastic pushing against your foot for miles on end is a recipe for disaster. I eventually quit half way through high school because it got to the point where my entire foot was taped and I was running on a raw foot.

Anyway started running again recently and ran 6 miles which completely tore up my arch and caused pain for 4 days following the run. I am not going to waste my time with a podiatrist and waste my money on a poorly engineered orthotic. I'll take a look at Spenco products, but is there anything else I should be looking at for such an extreme case of flat feet?

EDIT: I did some research and decided on the Aetrex Lynco sport orthotic line. They were a little more expensive than the Spenco ones, but I liked what I saw combined with the fact that they make a line geared towards sports. I'll let you guys know how they work out.
