Hi, @debduh11
My situation is a little different. The chief difference is I have no pain, only this wobbly way of walking, wobblier at certain times of day (which I find weird). As I'm a long-time orthotics-wearer, I always assume I'm better off in my shoes with their orthotics (kinder to my ankles, knees, and hips) than barefoot (which I prefer, especially around the house). But either way––in shoes with their orthotics or barefoot without, I can still be darn wobbly. I guess you could say I'm looking for stability more than comfort. It seems an endless, quest no matter. 🙂

Hi Ray - I noticed in your post that you are "wobblier at certain times of the day" and that I also find interesting. I'm sure you mentioned this to your doctors. Any comments from them? I have similar symptoms to you, but my lack of quality balance is constant. It might be slightly worse in evening, but I contribute that towards being tired at end of the day. Also, does your numbness increase in one leg or both legs at same time you feel wobblier? Ed

Hi @ray666 ~
You speak the truth. Stability is essential. I just bought my first pair of Brooks today. I have a fine Running Wild Store close by so if tomorrow they don't seem to work out, I can return them and try again. Up till now, I was wearing Saucony but at the present time that company has decided to compromise the stability factor for a more flexible option. It does seem an endless quest. Wishing you success, Ray! And a good week 🙂
