Brooks are great. Hoka is also a good shoe recommended by my podiatrist. I think they’re kind of big and ugly looking (but I also wear a size 11) but they’re very popular with runners and hospital workers because they have a very wide and roomy toe box. On another note, I suffered from PN from diabetes for years, was taking Tramadol for the pain/burning. I was falling and using a cane for awhile, then I started taking Lyrica. I felt like it saved my life, it really worked good, I stopped the Tramadol and cane. I was on it for maybe 6 years. If my prescription lapsed, it only took about 5 days for all my symptoms to come back. Then I got got breast cancer and took letrozole for 5 years, which gave me osteoporosis. The DEXA technician told me Lyrica was hard on bones and also statins, which I was also taking. I immediately stopped the Lyrica and went to a naturopath to find out what I could do for my PN. He had me start on a complete B complex and later I added additional B12. It’s been almost 3 years since I stopped the Lyrica and my symptoms of PN have NEVER returned. It’s hard to believe. I still have PN, it just doesn’t hurt. B vitamins help with nerve function. Don’t know if everyone can fine relief with this easy “cure” but it’s worth a shot.
