I'm sorry about the slow response! I...Hi Gail,<br /><br />I'm sorry about the slow response! I do like Gravity Defyer shoes. I especially like their 30 day money back guarantee so that you have a chance to see if they work out. I would also consider the New Balance 928, which will accommodate your orthotics. The Gravity Defyer shoes have excellent shock absorption and I have patients who have been very happy with them. They are more lightweight than the New Balance 928 but that also means they tend to wear out quicker. <br /><br />I would recommend getting medical grade Crocs RX (and wear the strap to the back) for around the apartment - to wear until you can get into better shoes for all day wear. <br /><br />As far as boots go - make sure that they have a thick rigid sole that has as little flex as possible. The more thick and rigid the sole - the more comfortable. <br /><br />I hope this has been helpful - I would love to hear how it works out for you...<br />Sincerely,<br />Cathy<br />:) Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-68944119269706218302012-09-29T17:38:36.561-07:002012-09-29T17:38:36.561-07:00Hi Dr. McCarthy.

Although I have not tried this particular shoe myself, try the Dr. Martens Christina ($70), which has one of the more thick, rigid soles I've ever found on a ballet flat. If you get them - I would love to hear how they work for you! <br />Good luck and thank you for reading!<br />CathyDoctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-44207536274117204402012-08-31T21:23:13.513-07:002012-08-31T21:23:13.513-07:00Hi Dr. McCarthy,

Unfortunately, I don't know any Po...Hi Bianca,<br /><br />Unfortunately, I don't know any Podiatrists in the Central Valley in California. I would recommend asking your primary care physician who he or she recommends - they will know who is the best Pod to send her to! <br /><br />Check out my article entitled:<br /><br />"Shoe Recommendations For patients recovering from a Lisfranc's fracture."<br /><br />That is an A to Z description of what she will need to do. If she doesn't want to do that - see if you can't get her into Crocs Rx or try an Easy Spirit "Traveller", which is very popular with the Medicare ladies. Or you can give her a gift of "Diabetic Slippers", which, if you can get her to wear them she will probably love!<br />It's a good place to start!<br /><br />I am so glad the blog has helped you and I thank you so much for your kind words and for reading!!<br />Cathy<br />:)Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-3192523539594956482012-08-24T17:22:22.342-07:002012-08-24T17:22:22.342-07:00Hi Anonymous,

The...Hi Anonymous,<br />Crocs Specialists are excellent!<br />The only thing that some patients don't like about the Specialists is that if you purchase the ones with no holes in the front, they tend to be hot. Please remember that I am in Arizona so that is a really important factor since our summers can reach 117 degrees! If you live in a cold climate, it should not be an issue.<br />make sure to wear the strap to the back!<br />Dr. Cathleen A.

She recently suffered a foot injury and is now healing. All of us would like her to start seeing a podiatrist. Do you know of anyone in the Central Valley in California? And if not, just California in general? Thank you for everything Cathleen.
