No “meat” on the bottom of my numb feet.

@bb03 Oh wow! This is EXACTLY what I've been complaining about for years now. I even called Brooks, as they seem to be one of the few that made narrow shoes, and now they seem to be dropping most of them. Nobody seems to understand that if you have narrow feet and heels, that you can't just wear a smaller size in a medium! Nope. The heels on the Mediums come right off my foot when walking. For the summer, I am able to wear "Fit Flops" which are REALLY comfortable. I can walk in those all day! Skecher's flip flops work for me, but their shoes are just too wide for my feet. Yesterday I shelled out a bunch of money at the Good Feet store. Their inserts work on a system with a wearing schedule. You get 3 inserts, all of which are worn for different amounts of time. The cheapest plan they had though was $1500!! I've avoided them for years due to that sort of pricing, but after years of pain, doctors, therapy, X-ray, MRI's etc and getting no better, I'm going to try this. I have spent way more than that on all the shoes and inserts I've purchased so far!!

My orthopedist directed me to a guy who took impressions of my feet and custom made inserts. Orthotics?? I believe was the term. 400.00 worth of relief! Well-worth the cost. Even took into consideration my uneven leg length!

@persistentc have you tried Asics narrows? Actually holds my heel in place!! Each model is different—recently switched from gt-2000 as the toe box kept getting bigger with redesigns to the Kayano, which I’m pretty happy with. Still need double socks, pads, inserts to fit my sensitive feet, but better than any other I’ve tried
