I have had an issue with my left foot for about 5 years - some sort of ligament or tendon has "fused inside a tube" causing my foot to collapse. After some scans and a few injections the experts decided that it's not anything that's operable, so a mechanical solution is needed.
I have had numerous visits to the SWIMS (South Warwickshire Integrated Muscuskeletal Service) department at Leamington Hospital where I've been fitted with orthotics (shoe inserts) that have been built-up progressively to the point where I now have a permanent pair made from dense polypropylene. Hopefully they will make walking as comfortable as it's possible to be.
The progress over almost two years with heels slowly increased (l-r looking at the undersides) to support my left foot:
