TO Cindy - First time AFO's

[Guest guest]

Well , I don't have AFOs, but just inshoe orthotics, and buy an 8EE

to accommodate the orthotics and my size 6C feet. I thought I was

wearing clown shoes at first, they felt so big, but the orthotic gives

my foot room to spread out in the shoe while walking. Speaking for my

orthotics,even my feet ached at first - weeks, after wearing the shoes

and orthotics and I was forever calling the orthotist with " is this

supposed to be happening " . He encouraged me to take my shoes off

frequently during the day and do the tennis ball exercise...it relaxes

the feet.

I also do not wear socks with my shoes, so my feet really have 'room'!

Guess you could go and try on a B width and see what it feels like...but

all this takes time as feet get used to new things. ~ Gretchen
