Hello the House,

Aw great news , I know the feeling. The local High School is putting

on a musical and they need tap dancers, can I put your name in. I'm sure the

next operation will be just as successful.

It sounds like you might be a toewalker, so it's more natural for your feet

if you heels are raised. I think most CMTers have to wear flat shoes (at

least the ones I used to talk to did). I used to need to have clunky heels to

keep from having plantar fasciitis, but I seem to be over it. All my life I

hated to have to wear heels, so it was a shock when I needed them.

Marta,

Before I had my surgery on my feet to cut the Achilles tendons and lower my

arches, I had to wear at least 1-1/2 inch heel, otherwise I felt like I was

falling backwards. It is so nice to be able to wear tennis shoes at last!

No way could I wear 3 inch heels....I'd fall for sure. Wear what you are

comfortable in...have fun!

Hi Marta,

You are a very mature person for your age. Even though I was not diagnosed

until age 48, I can remember episodes of bad clumsiness, etc., being told I

walked like a bull in a china shop when I was only a child.

So happy you are able to wear heels. That is one thing I had to give up

almost immediately; i.e. shakiness of my legs while wearing them. Enjoy!

Helen,

This is a great website. I see some sandals that might work for me (I too

wear AFO's one hinged one not, however, I too do not like to mail order --

been there done that and these type of shoes are all diff as far as sizing

goes. I sent an email to them to see if I can find any stores that might

sell them where I live/or work. Thanks so much for the info.

Today I was in a shoe store called Foot Solutions looking for

dressier shoes for my AFO. I tried ones on made by Finn Comfort.

What was so nice about all of their shoes is that the insoles are

removeable. I found their website by going into www.happyfeet.com

and then going to Finn comfort. Try the website and you just might

like their shoes. I do not like ordering over the phone and am lucky

their shoes are carried by this local shoe store.

Today I went to Nordstrom's and bought my first pair of New Balance shoes. They

were even on sale for half price! They are " Walking " shoes and only

semi-athletic-looking. I think they will be fine for work. I was surprised that

they told me to wear them and if they were not comfortable to bring them back.

I bought a half-size larger than the SAS shoes I was wearing, as they did not

have a wide width. I may take them back tomorrow for a another half-size

larger, as my big toe feels like it is touching the end and they feel a little

tight across the top of my foot. The heel on the shoe puts more pressure on the

toes than in the flat shoes I always wore. I wonder what they do with the

" second-hand shoes " that they take back. They have a removable insole and my

new double helix braces fit in fine. I was amazed at how much better I could

walk in them. I have been wearing my new braces full time for two weeks and my

walking is getting better every day. Around the house and in the office I get

around fine, but when shopping or going from the car into the office I still

rely on a crutch.

I bought a pair of " Free Time " SAS shoes while in Las Vegas. Also very

comfortable, but too expensive to wear to work every day, or so I thought until

I wore them for " dress " on Friday. The difference they made in walking, pointed

out my false economy and prompted me to go shoe shopping today. I am very

interested in comparing how the soles hold up at the outer heel where I give

them the most abuse. Apparently they are made of a material filled with lots of

little air bubbles and coated with an outer layer of a more solid material.

When the solid material wears through you are apparently literally " sunk " !

This is the same with New Balance shoes.

I looked at the Phistos sp? just out of curiosity. They were $260 and you could

send them back and get them refurbished whenever needed for about an additional

$80. They may be a good shoe...but not for my money! I was told by the shoe

salesman that the European shoes only come in one width per style. The ones I

saw would not have been wide enough anyway. Neither were the Eccos wide enough.

Macy's had some good-looking " Easy Spirit " shoes on sale that looked workable,

but I am going to put the New Balance shoes to the test, and if they pass, I

will buy a second pair while they are still on sale!

My Surgeon told me to try new balance shoes with the roll bar I have found

they work very well to help support my weak ankles.

Hi :

You can wear your Birkies in the winter with socks, of course when it snows or rains you're stuck with wearing boots.

I hope your feet feel better soon.

[Guest guest]

Yeah I have to say thought that I hate the sandal with socks look huh! I got some cute closed shoes that feel good so far, I got a pair of ph Siebel shoes, a pair of earth shoes, and some Mephisto Boots that are so cute, but I have to exchange them for a bigger size they must run small. they are so awesome but expensive as hell.

I am still having lots of foot problems but I am taking care of myself and hope it will resolve.

Hugs

, I have to say that that website about plantar fascitis is really helpful. After visiting it, I started taping my feet with the good tape you can get at the hospital. It's made a difference. I also ordered a pair of Birkie clogs for work from that website www.footprints.com. I am due to get them Oct 3. I hope they help. They are the Super Birkie Clog, which are waterproof and can be sterilized up to 140 degrees. I'll let you know what I think after I've worn them a few times. e ----- Original Message ----- From: Heer Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 12:33 PM Subject: Re: shoes Yeah I have to say thought that I hate the sandal with socks look huh!

I am glad it is helping you, the birkies are sweet shoes I love them, I am also finding some other shoes that work nicely for me from Mephsito. These are top of the line but very expensive.

Oh well worth it when they help my pain!

As most, this was inspired by looking in the mirror and doing some self analysis. Can we fill the shoes of our own destiny and potential? Such a hard question to answer. We very often underestimate what we are capable of and keep our bars set pretty low. On the other hand, we often do deeds, say words, seemingly just casual or a one on one scenerio but there are ears and eyes everywhere and they absorb... First is to catch the way we carry ourselves on our journey. If we are walking with a sad head-down expression, others who are down that day may become even more so because we reinforced it. Even those happy may start feeling somewhat uneasy because of our expressions. They do see, and we do not even notice, Happiness, true happiness which is found and we carry glows, shines upon others, much more than we can imagine. After this, the next step is the self-examination; to simply sit and ponder, meditate,

or just imagine what we truely are capable of in ways that will help ourselves and others. Just how far our reach is when sincerely attempting to help and heal our little world. We must shake off our bumps and bruises, physical or mental, start feeling for others who truely are worse than we are, and strive for their benefit. This would sound like one is to devote their life for the purpose of others, but I cheerfully say that the universe (guaranteed) sees and knows our intentions, and the more we reach out, the more we ourselves are rewarded. Karma, cause and effect, call it what you wish but by aspiring for others, we inturn are blesses. No one looses and everyone wins.

Try the uggs or sketchers they are lined an have good treads on them. Cost alot

but might be worth the money if his feet swell.

[Guest guest]

Crocs look-a-likes does sell men and women's shoes that have a lining. Try Target or payless shoe stores. Google and see if there is a site you can order them. I think Berkinstock also sells a similar shoe like the crocs and they have a sock lining.

Dr. Scholl's makes shoes...I've been wearing the same pair so long that people probably wonder why I don't get something new. They are really comfortable, though, and I had bum feet even before the arthritis set in.
