See post # 56283 regarding rocker shoes and CMT. If you want real stability

forward/backward/side to side/motion control try the NB 856.

Thanks. I've tried a few New Balance with good stability and they are helpful.

With the left ankle fused there's no stability there, but the right still turns.

Balance is also a bit of a problem.

Does anyone here have first hand experience with rocker type shoe?

Yes I have experience with rocker shoes.

They are terrible for balance, they will make your balance worse.

Soon after my wearing them I started have problems with my back and saw a

chirpractor. He told me the rocker shoes are NOT good for people. He said he

doesn't care what the companies say about them they are bad shoes for people.

I don't have CMT; I wore rocker shoes that were extremely comfortable for

one week, and my back went out horribly. It hasn't been the same since.

Hello Elinor,

I've invented an old adage - " Your back heath starts with your feet. "

One of the things I have done for decades is use molded shoes which not only

help with the feet, but with knees, hips, and back. The major

condition of their use is that they have to be " tuned " for you by

somebody who really knows what they are doing in both construction of the shoes

and adjusting them to your personal needs. I find physiatrist to be helpful here

as they look at the whole body statically and in motion.
