Shoes

[rgG]

With shoes, an especially with a foot problem, a little loose is better than too tight.
IIRC, you can get little pads to put in the back, not the bottom, if the back of the heel stretches out or the one shoe is a little loose.

Using a Braddock device was a step in the right direction (bad pun). I'd still strongly recommend that you find and work with an "old school" footwear professional. I know it can be very difficult to find such a person but, it will be to your great benefit to do so. Such a professional will know shoes and understand foot problems. He (or she) can save you time and money and get you into footwear that will be right for your feet. Once you find the right footwear, you'll kick yourself (second bad pun :facepalm: ) for not doing it sooner.
