I wear Birks almost exclusively now. The molded sole kind of "wraps" around my foot and keeps me from breaking my ankles. I can't wear absolutely flat anything anymore.

I wear Stegman clogs for slippers, and Merrell Primo Chills in snow. My PT just made me get a pair of NB sneakers too and I did, but don't foresee wearing them until well into fall (when I won't wear them anyway because it's time for real shoes).

I'm being forced into an AFO, so he swears I had to have the NB tennies. At least I was able to find some understated, plain leather ones.
