yes! have tried "Masai Barefoot Technology" shoes - really like the way they expand and lift my spine but my upper cervical chiro doc measuring rotation in my hips says that they exagerate that rotation....also if these shoes are worn long enough they may weaken not strengthen your feet! I opted for the New Balance "minimus" trail shoe and LOVE them!

check out " Ancient Walking to Primal Rythyms " on facebook - Randy Eady works with pd balance issues - he is an expert in the field! He advocates for those vibram five finger toe shoes - also tai chi and 8bd boards and a host of other tools inclucing take-fumi bamboo.
