Work Shoes?

[Haven]

Sum--I''m not really qualified to make any specific statements about orthotics here, but if you do any research at all into orthotics you''ll find some interesting information. If you''re truly interested in reading some research I can get articles from my FI for you, perhaps Andrey would allow me to send it to you through him. I''m not sure how that works?

That''s wonderful that orthotics are working for the two of you, I''m glad you found them. Nothing is good or bad for everyone, after all.

I probably shouldn''t have said anything. I know how difficult it is for people to accept new ideas if they go against conventional medical wisdom. If you really want to challenge your current beliefs about health and well-being, do some research into the effects of stretching on the muscles.

Indy--I should have said that your bones get misshapen BECAUSE your muscles are no longer functioning correctly to support them. If your muscles are functioning correctly, then your bones will be protected.

All of those issues from the Mayo Clinic website are certainly things to think about before we step out in our heels, that''s for sure!

Thanks for the concerns, ladies, but my footsies are fine. All my shoes are pretty comfortable (just those damn CLs with the short toe box, but oh so pretty). I sit a lot through the day too. Yah, there is a bit of pain here and there, but my pretty shoes are worth it!!!

Thanks Haven. I''ll look into it. My orthopedist is one of the top sports docs in DC, so I didn''t question him, but I''d never heard there were issues with them. So far I haven''t re-broken my foot, so I guess that part at least is good! But I also haven''t worn heels since the fracture.
