My New Shoes

I went and ordered another set of diabetic shoes. I control my disease by watching somewhat what I stuff in my mouth. So far I do not need medicine. I got my first set of shoes about six months ago. I had to pick out the style. I got sneaker type shoes with a velcro strap. I got my shoes from my foot doctor, I see him about every four months to trim my toe nails and check my feet. Of all the problems I have had over the years, I don't want to lose my feet to this disease.

He sent me to Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics. They have offices all across the country. They are the ones who put the new tail on the dolphin that was in the news. I figured if they were good enough to do that, I would give them a shot at helping my feet.

I got my feet measured and the bottom of my feet molded for the inserts. When I got my new shoes I could not believe how well they fit. Real comfortable. These were the first shoes I have had in over 40 years that have not hurt my feet.

If you have problems with painful feet, see a foot doctor for help. I wish I had years ago. Well again, this was suggested by my wife. Yes ladies, I am starting to listen to my wife more. She does a good job of keeping me alive and in good condition. Wish I knew her when I was in my teen years. Would have saved me several trips in the ambulance to get patched up.
