In 1974, 75, I went back to running and racing because I wore these hard acrylic orthotics.

Well, they didn't fix the problem.

They alleviated the pain.

So I still wound up with the problems over time.

But, you know, so for a lot of people, if you're not fixing, this is medicine, right?

You don't fix the problem, you alleviate the symptom.

And I'm not going to say that some people don't need orthotics, but your feet are born perfect.

Some people, oh, I was born with flat feet.
