SO HAPPY !!
I have MS with bilateral neuropathy. It's been about a year since my first difficult relapse and my sudden extreme feet issues. One minute I was scrimaging soccer with men and going at it on the treadmill and the next minute I was in bed with a heating pad on my feet. My dad also has MS. Since then, I've had special shoes ordered from prosthetics and orthodics specialists, the kind my dad used to wear when he was fifty and walking around with canes. They were 400 dollar shoes and a 75$ copay from my insurance with extra depth and tailor made diabetic inserts to boot. I winced from the digging pain the second they were put on my feet. I have given almost all of my shoes away and can wear the ones I have for a couple hours. I can't remember the last time I put on a pair of cute, comfortable shoes that I can walk around in.
My feet are wide now but were narrow when I was younger. I'm 44 years old. I have a high arch and MS related spondelosis and arthritis on the top of my foot. The problem is that when I get support on the insole and the arch and cushion on the bottom that I need, it crowds the top of my foot. Once i get some room on the top, the shoe is either slipping off of the heel or I can't lace up the top. I'm an 8 wide these days, a normal change with age. The strap here could be softer or wider or a wee bit higher for comfort but that's what I expect keeps the shoe on. For me, these are wonderful , surprising shoes. I zip around in them all day like a normal person and I just came from a long walk with my friend and our dog watching the birds in the sunshine, I am SO GLAD I took a chance and bought these shoes. Once I knew they worked and after worrying for a year if I could wear shoes at all I got them also in black, grey and white. I know they work so I'd be a fool to not stock up especially considering the price. Now I want tennies, boots, whatever else these guys make. I'm just so relieved. Life Changer. If you have the issues I described. BUY THEM!
