Jewels here are the shoes. I've had about 2 pairs of them so far. http://www.sears.ca/product/mephisto...000659102-ZACH Originally, I could hike in these things but as my feet have gotten worse I prefer to wear my Hoka running shoes. The style I wear is actually discontinued but I'm hopeful the newer models work just as well. http://www.hokaoneone.com/women/kail...t=7&cgid=women
I like the idea of using a foam roller under feet - that's a good idea. My only surgical option here in Canada is "fusion" and I dont' want any part of it! If I was able to get a toe joint replacement, I'd be more enthusiastic. I am just hopeful I can continue to modify and adapt as time goes on. I guess some people can run forever with no injuries but I'm pretty certain running lead to my toes' downfall. There were a few other contributing factors too. I have flat feet and would walk for hours (literally 2-5 hours) as a teenager and in my 20s in flat shoes - not running shoes, just flip flops and sandals. And then all the years pounding on pavement. Also I stubbed my right toe really really badly and that's the toe that is the worst so I'm sure arthritis set in after the trauma. I hope I gave some ideas? 3ks - I don't know - see your doctor is my best advice! |
