  Hi Bill, I sure can sympathise with your sentiment about it feels good
now why wear the  things. They will take awhile to get used to but in
the long run they do help. I have seen too many people in chairs that
their doctors weren't on the ball and there feet are horrible twisted
and warped and the ankles and also have some really poor circulation and
the problems that entails. It's worth a little inconveience to prevent a
lot more later on. Oh I still swear at all the metal I have and the fool
plastic ones at night, and even slack off sometimes and won't put the
sleeping braces on and then pay for it the next  morning when my feet
are twisted and the ankles are locked. So you just hang in there and
weare those suckers for about a month or two before you take the day off
from them, this way you will get used to them and not give up and put
them on the self and yourself in trouble. Good luck and get that crook.
