So I have a huge size 13 problem help!!!

z-coil.com. saved my feet and job

Can never go wrong with New Balance.

Sneakers always made my feet hurt. My mom bought me standing comfort shoes, and I swear by em...I can even run after work if I have to!

Nike Shox......a miracle in any size!!!

I live in Reebok's A nurse told me Some people wear Reebok's and can't wear Nike. I like New Balance as well. I have the same problem i have wide flat feet. But i'm not a 13. I learned from trail and error what works. And Reebok's seem to last the longest on me. Oh did you also know and i didn't know this that shoes are only good up to so many miles. I think 300 miles. They say you should change your shoes like very 3 months. And if you really think about how many miles a day or night we walk around a hospital or nursing home it makes sense.

i can't really tell you which sneakers to buy...you just need to experiment with that (but the more expensive is usually more comfortable...i have nike as well)...hope by now you found a pair? mine's last me way over 3 months.

but I thought to make this thread a bit educational as many of us here are still in school...

arches of the foot (supporting structures) are of two kinds:

Passive support (of ligaments ------including plantar aponeurosis, long and short plantar ligaments, and the spring ligament) and

Dynamic support (muscles of leg and foot --------tibialis anterior (anterior leg innervated by deep fibular n.), tbialis posterior (posterior leg innervated by tibial n.), fibularis longus (lateral leg innervated by superficial fibular n.), flexor hallucis longus (posterior leg innervated by tibial n.), and intrinsic plantar muscles by planter nerves.)...

lol just noticed how everything posterior is innervated by the tibial nerve...

anyhow, back to your problem. and what you can easily do to help.

--Stand facing a wall, about one foot away, with the hurting feet about six inches farther back. Put your hands on the wall and gently lean forward, stretching the lower calf.

--Stand facing a wall, about two feet away, with the injured feet about six inches farther back. Keep both feet slightly turned outward. Put your hands on the wall and gently lean forward, bending the front knees and keeping the back heel on the floor.

--Insert an over-the-counter arch support and heel support cushion into the shoe as someone already mentioned.

--Try to avoid walking barefoot, since it may put added stress on the plantar ligament.

the goal is to stretch your ligaments.

Hope this helps a tiny bit.

I am a nursing student so I don't have much experience as some when it comes to nursing school. I am in my first term and haven't done much running around. I am sure that will change next term.

Anyways, I too have wide, flat feet. I bought a pair of Danskos. They were like 100 bucks. Pretty competitive across the board (internet and stores). I really like them. I feel like I do quite a bit of standing around, I notice that my feet feet great. Plus, they are suppose to make you stand in a proper stance.

Just a suggestion. I bought them because several people I worked with at my last job ranted and raved about them.

Like one of the previous posters said, you may just have to go through a trial and error process to find out what works best for you. Danskos work great for me, but may not be as comfortable for you.

Good luck.

I don't know what your color/style requirements are, but I'm a 15EEEE and I live in my EMS boots. They are so comfortable I have three pair, and I wear them pretty much any time I am wearing pants, with the exception of dressy occasions.

good assortment of size/brand/price

I am a size 13 also. I rotate between Danskos, Birkis, SAS, and a cool pair of white Doc Martins. Rotating shoes really helps foot problems.

I used sell shoes when I was an undergrad...think Al Bundy. Ok, bad joke. Well I would go with what czyja said about rotating your shoes if your feet are still hurting. If they continue hurting, you may want to consult a Podiatrist in your area to maybe give a few tips. That is just my advice.
