Whoaaaaa this last paragragh fits how my feet feel at any given time. Not including the aches & different types of pains I feet in them at any given time also.

"Sensory Ataxia: "My Feet Don't Seem to Touch Bottom"
This sensory loss of the feet gives rise to what is called "sensory ataxia", meaning there is simply insufficient sensory feedback to walk securely. The patient cannot tell precisely when her feet have reached the maximal impact of weight bearing and so clumsiness occurs. Trips and falls are much more common in such patients. If greater proprioceptive and positional sense are preserved in the hands, then a cane may substitute for information lost from the feet."

I have never known exactly how to describe this before now. I also can't tell at times just how much of the bottoms of my feet are touching the floor for sure. Sometimes it feels as if I am only walking on a narrow band down the middle of the soles of my feet, or at other times it feels like there are only small areas of the soles of my feet touching the floor. It is the most strangest of sensations ever.

It is sooooooooooooo kewl to have finally found this.....it has only taken me hmmmmm over 4 yrs to do so & I have Sandel to thank for this..........so Thank You Sandel.........

And a cane does help me immensely around here. Thank goodness my hands still have enough sensory feeling that a cane works. I keep having to go thru SGB's to keep them sensing all the right way tho.
