Fw: RE: [TMIC] Comfortable Shoes Anyone?
Just got a new PT and we were talking about my PFO braces. She said that it would help to have a size bigger, 1/2 to full size bigger, and a wide shoe. With the braces taken up space and with the swelling of our feet, this could help ALL of us with comfort of our shoes.

The one place she remembers is www.drewshoe.com . She dealt with quite a few different companies and tried on many, many shoes before she found something that fit. She is a tall gal and her feet are very swollen and needs a size 12 extra wide which many places don’t carry. She will check her paper work to see if there were any others and I will let you know.

Hi Patti! How do you handle your foot drop issues without your AFO? I would love to get rid of mine! - Original Message - From: L T CHERPESKI To: TMIC-LIST ; pjv1...@chartermi.net Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 10:02 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Comfortable Shoes Anyone? Thanks Patti - these sound great too. I can't feel cold on my feet, but I can sure feel the wonderful burning when I put anything on them. Also can't stand to have any kind of sock or slipper on my feet. We'll get this figured out. Lots of great ideas here.

I seldom wear my AFO due to the burning when my feet are in lace- up shoes. I look for shoes that I can slip off quickly including loafers and clogs that have wide toes. The last two styles that worked for me are: New Balance 811 and Cobbies Cuddlers. Both styles have the short heel that helps keep my foot from sliding around. The insides are smooth without irritating seams and both have elastic side inserts that stretch to limit the amout of pressure on the foot when taking a step. I need shoes because my feet freeze, but if I wear them my feet burn. I hope you can find something soon.

Re: [TMIC] Comfortable Shoes Anyone?
I am wondering about new shoes too. What type of sandals did you wear? I can't find anything but sports shoes that I can wear with my AFO. - Original Message - From: L T CHERPESKI To: TMIC-LIST Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 12:14 AM Subject: [TMIC] Comfortable Shoes Anyone?

Re: [TMIC] Comfortable Shoes Anyone?
*Hi Linda,* ** *I wear garden shoes year round, rain, snow, sleet or hail. Mine are called Sloggers and are relatively inexpensive, and come in a lot of different colors. I've stocked up on them to make sure I've always got a pair. They are like walking on Memory Foam, and don't aggravate that damnable burning. They have a strap around the back that is actually permanently attached, so they're easy to keep on. Before my friend discovered them for me, I had a real problem with stepping out of my shoes, as I have no grip in my toes. I'm strictly a blue jeans person, and they actually look nice with them. A lot of my nurse buddies have picked up a pair or two to wear to work, and really like them.* ** *Gracie *

Thanks Frank. I know Timberland is a great brand name and I know how soft moccasins are. These are all great ideas - thank you everybody!

Ok, I went on line and looked at the sloggers. These I could wear! And hey, you can even put them in the dishwasher. I cracked up when I read that part. Thanks Grace - I also like the fact that they don't have much height, which just adds to the wobbles for me.
