I am an avid runner and will be going next week to a Fleet Feet store to get properly fitted for a new pair of shoes. Fingers crossed but I have noticed an improvement in my tingling feet when I switched over to an older pair of New Balances this week. My wife bought me some Asics and my symptoms started a month later. Will see what happens.

Boy oh boy did this one hit home.... I hate shoes now. Cannot enclose my feet for any length of time... My Teva's turned on me and many others. Funny one....... I do best with sand shoes that I buy at the grocery store here in Hawaii where I live... I then buy a ortho soft get to put inside. Not fashionable at all but don't care. I am barefooted a lot around the house and lanai and have to watch closely cause stepping on the smallest thing will send me to the moon ... I am sure you know. I use to wear Birkenstock years ago and that's my next purchase but now need the strap in the back. I will walk right out of sandals :(

have you tried the birkenstock birko-balance insoles? i use em in all my shoes, as well as in my wetsuit surfing booties. they improve my comfort levels and, i think, my balance. you can get em on amazon and return them if you don't like them. here's a pic:

Wow... have never seen these...I like the way they encase and support the foot. I will check it out...................Thanks or Mahalo as we say here in the islands ...Aloha:)

Thanks all. Very informative thread.

Shoes have been a problem with me since I acquired PN.

...got 'em in my wish cart :) I pounded my feet all day today at work and now am really crippled up :( Let's call it a day :)

I like the NB 577 with the hook and loop closure. These shoes are quite comfortable and have a nice wide toe box. Ordinary lace up shoes can be a problem. I've been wearing this brand and model for the past 5 years.

Welcome stumblefoot. :Wave-Hello:

i wear them too
