Don't do what I did.

I have always thought that I bought good shoes and boots. For many years I wore Red Wings, but then my feet got wider and I couldn't get a good fit. I got Keens but they split at a seam in back so I went with Timberland Pros which seem to be good. The problem was with my walking shoes. After recovery from hip replacement I got into better diet and more exercise and weight loss. I was walking a lot more and wearing a pair of "whatever" sneakers. I never thought that I needed the $100.00 fancy ones, $50.00 should be plenty to spend. I didn't need new ones every year, I can get five years out of them. Well I was wrong. My feet HURT!! I have been to the podiatrist, and have done as he suggested. Through my own research I have found out a lot more. I needed more arch support. Without adequate arch support the balls of my feet were taking a beating. I have now bought two more pairs of walking shoes, and have beefed them up with inserts. The key is that the upper at the heel needs to be stiff at a 90 degree with the sole, and that the sole needs to be stiff from the back to 3/4 of the way to the front. I have purchased four pairs of insoles so that all of my shoes and boots give me this support. The medical community emphasizes the need to rest and heal after the damage is done and corrections have been made. I am now trying to limit the daily time on my feet along with following the other instructions from the doctor and hoping that I will recover. The new shoes and insoles make walking comfortable for the first mile and a half a day, but that is a very small amount compared to what I need to be able to do. Good quality boots are necessary but not enough.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
