Achondroplasics - change in the way one walks with bowed legs?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the reply Grady. Yes, like you, I've ALWAYS walked on the outside of

the foot, forcing the shoes to mis-shape. Like you, I've always put an insole

into the shoe to FORCE my foot to the correct position and to stop the shoes

wearing over. This has always been because of the leg bowing.

BUT, now, I'm finding that rather than walk on the OUTSIDE of the foot, as has

always been the norm, for some reason I am now walking on the INSIDE edge of the

ball of the foot!

Weird! Total mystery!

I have a similar problem but in a different area of the foot. I walk

on the outside of my feet to the point, that my shoes wear out faster

on the outer edge of each more than they do anywhere else, including

the center. So, definitely, I am not flat footed rather I am 'rim'

footed like a spent .22 caliber shell, for lack of a better word!

This too, because of the way I walk, it seems I am eligible to have

these molded inserts, which would be molded ONLY for me and my foot,

and supposedly they will correct that problem by balancing out the

rest of my foot, helping me to walk more evenly, so to speak.

That is something that may work for you as well?
