Orthofeet shoes and sneakers
Has anyone had any luck with Orthofeet brand? I bought Kuru and find the arch insert uncomfortable but heel cushioning adequate. They also seem to run a little small. I am just trying to stay mobile as possible and keep up my daily walks! One of my biggest issues currently is not being able to stand shoes on my feet but need support.

1 ReactionThank you so much.
@sensitive I used to work for an orthotics and prosthetics company, and that was a minor brand we used. I would check out Propet Shoes if you haven’t already - those had great results for the majority of our PN patients, along with Dr. Comfort (which may have been bought out?). I'm not knocking Orthofeet - I know a lot of the little kiddos used that brand and loved them, I just personally haven't tried them myself. My Grandma loved Propet also. Just an FYI.

1 ReactionI needed Extra Wide with Orthofeet. Luckily, they had them.
I like Skechers.
Hello
My feet are a mess so ive had to resort to specially made shoe inserts, any wide toe boxed mens sized (im female) tennis shoe as close to zero shoe as i can get to relieve pain from Morton's Neuroma and i put the inserts in Merrills to walk around in. I've found some shoe widths to not fit properly and Kuru ball of foot area is too thin. Also, get creative with your shoelaces. Skip the first two pairs and experiment. It helps me with the MN.

2 ReactionsI gotta remind everybody about the benefits of Barefoot Footwear. There are many brands & options. I’m a real fan with 8 pairs. They are grounded with thin soles which make them good for driving.
They are inexpensive & available on Amazon.
