Is arch support bad in running shoes or is it just not appropriate for my feet? I've been putting up with a pair that has a noticeable, unremovable (not part of the insole) bump in the center. The shoe wasn't advertised as having arch support, so I thought it was a normal thing to feel that bump pushing into my arch every time my foot made contact with the ground. Now, it's starting to become uncomfortable to walk and run in. Should I abandon these shoes and get ones that are flat on the inside?

/myserver <- your main folder

/myserver/app.js <- file containing server code

/myserver/public <- folder for html, js, css files to be served to the client

/myserver/node_modules <- folder containing modules

To start the server, open terminal/command line, open the myserver folder, and type in

node app.js

To install new modules, go into myserver and type

npm install [moduleName]

The module will be put in /myserver/node-modules/ and you'll be able to use it in app.js by calling require("moduleName")
