hi,
i'm having a shoe off day today ... wow the heat came in and my feet swelled but good. i have been on the couch most of the day though since i tend to trip and fall so easily with the brace off.
i did have my husband get me the gel insoles and i tried them both in the sneaker and then in the brace. the problem was, even though i buy size wide shoes to accommodate the brace, it was still too tight with the added pad and then the swelling ... i will try again tomorrow when the weather is cooler. i liked the idea of wearing someone elses worn in shoes! that sounded comfortable.
has anyone who uses a brace found any other shoe than a sneaker that works? something cooler?
thanks for all the suggestions. i used to live in dr schols wooded sandals before rsd ... hate it! i wear sandals for dress up but my feet swell badly just from the straps and they are not even tight ... joan
