If the shoe fits, wear it!

@bunnybear, I want to share some suggestions about shoes that might be helpful. These are from someone who is currently in physical therapy.
- Some running shoes have a curved-up toe which might compensate for some of the foot drag.
- Some shoes with a firmer bottom will hold a foot support insert.
- Talk to doctor about a foot/leg brace if foot drag is problem.

A running/walking shoe store is going to be the best place to try on and get fitted for good walking/running shoes.

@rosemarya Food for thought. I have not discussed the foot drag with doctor. I am in PT for posture issues and can’t believe I have not talked to her about foot drag specifically. I will do that! As to the shoes with the upward curve to the sole…I fell in those (Sketchers) and had my orthotics in to boot.
