I know that but nice to be reminded.
By the way the people that attended were they wearing shoes? |
Were the people wearing shoes?? Absolutely, and one time that was the topic of discussion. The type of footwear that people with PN should be wearing.
Alan had picked up his foot to show his custom made shoes with custom made orthotics. Steve had passed around special orthotics with gel in them that would cushion the feet. He had us put them in our shoes. I didn't like them so I didn't purchase them. So we were going around the room, comparing the shoes we all were wearing and this lady takes off one of her shoes and shows us. It had NO SUPPORT, her toes were not protected (In case something fell on them). I remember Alan telling her "you really shouldn't wear that type of shoe with neuropathy) and everyone agreed. She just laughed and said "I will not wear ugly crocs or any other type of ugly shoes, I'm too vain"
And she was not in her 20's let's put it at that.
So vanity will win out in some cases.
