Suggestions for footwear with chronic foot pain

Published

Hello,

I'm a new RN and am about to start my first job on a med surg floor. I have chronic foot pain that includes Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some footwear? I already have some vionic shoes and ASICS brand, but they're not offering the support I had hoped for. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you visited a podiatrist? Sometimes custom orthotics make all the difference in the world, and a podiatrist can determine what would benefit you.

I have visited a podiatrist and he suggested the vionics. He told me that most orthotics weren't very effective considering how much they cost. I appreciate your response though. I have been a long time lurker or the site and appreciate the feedback that is offered here.

Number one go to a sports med podiatrist,get full sport soft with extra cushioning,orthotics,ususually those made by a good lab,wear newbalance as recommended by most foot doctors.Vionic is not good enough.Easy spirit breaks down fast. Get a foot bath for home homedics and use every night for a while.
