Let’s Get Some Shuz

...and what a lovely family it is.

Can an aching foot find a comfy home?

One of my smallest concerns (essentially a non-concern) post- ankle debacle has been that I can’t wear 90% of the shoes I owned prior to the accident.  I’ve held onto my cutest shoes in hopes that some day I will be able to wear them.  (But if you’re a size 9 [women] and feeling persuasive, you can try me…).

More upfront in my mind is how I can find comfortable, supportive shoes that keep my feet in a neutral position — not plantar-flexed as they are in the Z-Coil shoes below, and not topsy-turvy as they are in a rocker bottom a la MBTs.  In a quest for comfort,

I walked in these puppies for almost a year. I'm amazed I still have friends.

I have had to (try to) sideline the shame accompanied by wearing shoes with springs on the bottom or sperm as the logo.

I am currently wearing a less conspicuous pair of shoes:  Asics Gel Kayanos in white with blue and green trim.  I’ve also recently found some incredibly cushiony, stable boots that do not look one bit orthopedic.

• What kind of shoes do you wear for cushion and stability?
• Which shoes do you wear when you work out?
• Do you know of any companies that make decent-looking ortho shoes?

~Post your ideas and run with them.

Really? You couldn’t have picked a less awkward logo? I colored mine in with black sharpie but it wore off.
