Exactly!! I change my shoes 2-3 X a day. Brooks and Hoka so far work well for me. Ryka and Abeo sandals are ok. No tsure if Ryka makes sandals anymore, I cannot find them online. Last week I bought a pair of KuaiLu Orthopedic walking sandals. At first before trying on I said these will never work. I tried them on and they are comfortable. They are small platforms with some cushioning. I thought that they would be too high, ( I have balance issues) They are priced well, I am keeping them. Best wishes with this very mysterious disease.

I too struggled to find shoes I could wear for a while and walk in ( I have balance issues as well and use a walker or canes. I do not like the cushiony tennis shoes. Prefer flatter soles so I can feel my feet on the floor etc. I have pairs of sockless running shoes that I purchased on amazon that are great because they have good "gripp" soles and are very washable. Brand in shoe reads "Sports" I really do not remember the cost. I also like Keen sandals and feel safe walking in them because the shoe is flexible and sole is flat.

My feet abhor pressure points. Crocs have been the answer for me. I do not use them for extensive walking though.

Fitville ........look them up online. A complete line of wide shoes with extra wide toe boxes. I wear recovery sandals, like walking on a cloud. I wear bi-lateral AFOs and require a 13 4E.
