Hi Cindi1965 and All,
I gave up all my shoes too since I've had RSD which started as trauma in my right foot and spread EVERYWHERE so I have been full body for almost seven years. I kept all my shoes for about two years and then found out our homeless shelter nearby needed things for the kids and families there (as it was right before Christmas). So, I packed up everything I could not wear (even my sponge bob flip flops;.( ) and donated all of them to the homeless shelter. I have small feet (women's size 6) and I had alot of boy's boots that my son had grown out of but I was able to use for work so I gave them to the kids and all my other nice shoes to the women...along with some work clothes that I was not going to wear. Since then I have given away my entire wardrobe since like we all know when you find something that is comfy you just keep wearing it lol. But it made me feel better that I did that and know it is going to a good cause. It was hard to do to give up the heels that I loved but there is no way I could wear them and I could not see just keeping them. I figure like mentioned above some day when I am healed I can just go buy some new ones since I will have a great job then:.)
I have found the generic Crocs (called Airwalks) that I found in Payless Shoe Stores work the best for me. Crocs have a bar that sits under the toes and causes me lots of pain so I found the generic ones and they are better and cheaper than the real thing. They even make them with fuzzy linings for in the winter and come in all kinds of colors too. I buy them the end of the season and they are even cheaper!! Works for me.
Best of luck to all.
