Can the wrong shoes be the reason for my back pain?

Maybe Orthotics.: It sounds like you could also have a biomechanical instability in your feet that is passing problems "up the kinetic chain." custom made prescription orthotics, made by a certified lab, under the recommendations of a podiatrist can help tremendously!
