Orthopedist: Consultation with an orthopedist or podiatrist would likely provide you with new information and treatment options. In the interim, arch supports can be used to support the arches and help reduce strain to the knees and ankles.

Custom AFO: Sounds like you might benefit from a custom AFO (ankle foot orthosis). This device requires taking a cast of your foot and ankle and thus is custom to you.
