I had to return the New Balance walking shoes I bought because the heal and arches were too high. 1 1/4 " and no higher works for me.

Hi, Dawn (@imagine1)

Did find my post after I returned from today's podiatrist visit? If not, and if you can't find it, let me know. In short, though, although he hadn't any new ideas – none that I hadn't already thought of – he was honest with me. All in all, I was pleased with the time I spent with him.

I have a prescription for physical therapy. I had back surgery and the N.S. says that the numbness should go away months from now. I use the exercise bike for an hour and then Tai Chi and then walking down the hallway back and forth. Nor comfortable going alone outside I have in the past. Need to learn to go up and down stairs. After my first back surgery, my neighbor (no longer living here) walked with me outside and up and down stairs, every day. All one needs is one person, not really a physical threrapist. Must move on to Tai Chi now. I don't like to look at a computer screen.
