Footwear and vestibular issues
Has anyone found footwear which helps with balance. I made the mistake once of putting on a pair of slippers that had a cushion of about 1/4 - 1/2 inches. Within 15 minutes of wear the slippers I was extremely sick.
I was told that the proprioception signals from my feet would be confused and send confused signals to my head and eyes. It was remarkable how quickly that happened.
I also tried a pair of flip flops which had a cushion on the bottom to a mall and was sick in a very short time.
Apparently the best is to go bare foot, but since this is not possible in public places I was looking for something that would minimize my symptoms.
Anyone else experience this?
