I have spinal stenosis and some neuropathy. I was having balance problems and had fallen 5 times. I was a runner for over 50 years, with two marathons, four half marathons and a ton of other races under my belt. At the age of 80, I went to jogging and fast walking, which worked well until less than a year ago when things started to turn. Running shoes were too soft. I found some OrthoFeet shoes online. They have solved my problem, and I now have 3 pairs of the shoes and a pair of boots. No falls since. In about one month I am having an EMG nerve test. The stenosis is bad on the right side, but it is my left leg that still does occasional stutter steps. Hopefully there is an answer. Chuck G

It was good to read such a sturdy endorsement of OrthoFeet shoes. If you've read some of my earlier posts, you know I'm now an ex-long-distance runner who's been extolling the virtues of Brooks Addiction shoes. I've come to accept that my PN and a prosthetic knee have scotched any plans I may have had to get back to running (more the fake knee than the PN), but I'm always on the lookout for some good shoes that will help to steady my terribly unsteady gait. Your post has me thinking: I should try a pair of OrthoFeet shoes. ––Ray (@ray666)
