Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2006best shoe/insert for occasional foot pain and knee pain
Hello, I'd like some advice on best sandal and best walking shoe for a person who says she doesn't have much padding in her foot (58 yrs.old) and occasionally feels a bit of arch pain. She is on her foot a lot at home and prefers to wear sandals. Also, she does have some knee pain, but that was due to overuse in gardening. Is there a good orthotic insert that is comfortable and works for sandals? What about shoe brands/models for this type of problem? THANKS! > Hello, > I'd like some advice on best sandal and best walking shoe for [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > THANKS! Although they look pretty "funky", I find that a pair of "Crocs" (worn with a thick pair of wool socks and a gel arch support is the most comfortable pair of shoes that I've ever worn. I've dealt with foot pain for several years and had surgury on my metatarsals last April. The shoes are plenty wide enough for my size 13, 4-E width feet. I have 2 pairs of "Beach" Crocs (http://shop.crocs.com/pc-15-4-beach.aspx?) -- one pair for outdoors and one pair for indoors. One pair is Black and the other is Army Green. I'm begging the company to make them available in Camouflage (my favorite color). http://www.crocs.com Hope this helps! :-)  SignatureKendall F.

I went looking for Crocs last summer, didn't find any locally, but did find a similar shoe called "Holey Soles". I think they are as comfortable. Sharon For your knee I would try the Painmaster MCT Patch. It can be found on www.painmasterpatch.com and www.painmastercanada.com For your foot I dont think it would help as much if its on the bottom of your foot...

"Hope this helps " fill my wallet with your money. i'm sure that's what he meant to say. kate (there was no period at the end of that sentence. so, as helpful as i am, i thought i'd finish his thought for him.) Oh, this brings up a depressing issue with me. I had ordered made-to-fit inserts from my chiropractor for approx. $200. Then, my daughter was here one day when I was out, and her dog (unbeknowst to her) chewed up both inserts....Grrrr! Fortunately, our insurance paid most of the original cost, although I could just picture the dollar signs going out the window.

My spouse lucy has bad arches and tried everything. 4 years ago bought a pair of Birkenstock inserts that work for shoes and sandals. They just started wearing out recently. Cost then was $50 so thats $12.50 a year. Not bad. They worked better than the custom $300 scripts. For arch support in shoes we have both found Merrill to work and I am currently addicted to NOATs. Good luck. You just have to keep trying stuff with the feet. They can be so finicky. johnie >> Is there a good orthotic insert that is comfortable and works for >> sandals?

'Naot' I don't have orthotics, but love my Birkenstocks and (Crocs for standing but not when doing a lot of walking). Adelle > 'Naot' thanks adelle, i suffer from early morning 'limited dyslexia'.>g< johnie Most good running and sports stores should have some sort of replacement insole for running shoes, as well as the running and hiking shoes themselves. If you can't find a good, comfortable hiking shoe, you could buy the inserts to go with any comfortable shoe you find. I have been using Clarke walking shoes for several years and find them very comfortable. The do not require breaking in. I have used the Spenco "replacement" insoles for a number of years and they have worked well for me. I have also used them in jazz oxfords for folk dancing with good results. Keep in mind that, since most of the replacement insoles are rather thick, you should buy the insoles first and take them with you when you go to buy the shoes. If you buy the shoe first and then add the insole, the shoe will be too tight. Good luck. > Hello, > I'd like some advice on best sandal and best walking shoe for [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > THANKS! I've heard good things about Softspots shoes and my FootSmart catalog (on the web at www.footsmart.com) also bills softwalk and Kumfs as having a lot of cushioning in the footbed. She'd need to take a look at them to see which styles would suit her best. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare |
