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.

You know, good ones that can actually touch our nerve burning feet without pulling our hair out. I wore my sandals all last winter in the snow. I just can't stand to have shoes touch the tops of my feet. > > If you've found good ones, what brand and where do you find them? > > A big thank you to all > > Linda - Eagle, ID
