I do a fair amount of walking nearly every day, especially if we're in town for my wife's doctor appointment. It's an hour from my home, so we don't go to town for just one thing. It means doing Costco, Walmart, Trader Joe's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, Michael's, a restaurant or two, and as many thrift stores we have the time and energy to hit. All for a 15 minute doctor appointment. I used to outshop my wife, but I stay in the car for some of them.

And we'll do it again next Thursday for my appointment with the neurologist. My feet are burning and asking me what they did to deserve this.

So these are the long walking days, but I always have a list of things that need to be done at home, most of them involving walking and standing. Sometimes standing still hurts more than walking. Not sure how that works.

Because of the balance problem I have as a result of my peripheral neuropathy I have difficulty walking as much as I used to. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for shoes.I’m currently buying new balance shoes but would be happy to spend some money on custom made shoes. Is this something I should go to a podiatrist for. Any help greatly appreciated
