Re: ankles and feet problems ->Joana

[Guest guest]

Joanna,

I too have difficulty putting my shoes on. My toes have virtually no

strength at all and the only toe that I can wiggle is my big one. I am a

diabetic also and I am wearing shoes especially made for Diabetics. I can only

get them thru my Podiatrist. They are very light weight so I am able to walk

fairly well. I have never been able to wear a sandal or flip flop either.

I had so much difficulty as a child with my feet, back then, in the 60's, I

just thought I had strange feet and was a clumsy kid. I read all the posts on

this sight and realize I wasn't the only one with feet problems. I have learned

so much from our friends on this site ! It certainly is comforting to realize I

am not the only one with CMT !
