My podiatrist and I have agreed to try to avoid a sesamoidectomy by focusing on shoes. I've been wearing Alegria Paloma and Crocs RX based on your recommendations, and they are fantastic. I would like to try to get back into exercising--yoga and walking. Would you recommend purchasing a Hoka shoe (which I would prefer because they look sportier) or would a New Balance 1540 or 928 be better? As for the New Balance shoes, is one of these better than the other for sesamoid problems? Thank you so much!<br />KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12450668592174457262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-43555913587969656672013-08-03T13:49:45.085-07:002013-08-03T13:49:45.085-07:00Hi Sue,
I don't have a specific recommendation...Hi Sue,<br />I don't have a specific recommendation for a Pod in your area but I would look for a Pod who specializes in biomechanics. Also, your Doc who made you the CMO's can maybe refurbish the CMO so that it has a softer topcover (plastizote for diabetics) with a "Sweet Spot" for the sesamoids that will help off-load the area. Also, google "X1-Blade" and try the insert that is specifically for your condition. The X1-Blade goes under your current CMO and will help. <br />Are you wearing RX Crocs around the house as a bedroom slipper? If not, invest in them - they help!!<br />Cathy<br />:)Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-10016236088340064132013-07-29T08:56:35.620-07:002013-07-29T08:56:35.620-07:00Hi Dr. McCarthy,

I'm still experiencing some discomfort in right foot when I'm walking. I use custom inserts in the NB928 shoes. I don't feel like I'm getting much guidance from my foot MD. Any suggestions on podiatrists in the Minneapolis area?

I did my res...Hi Amy,<br />Thanks for reading the blog! <br />I did my residency in Buffalo and have a lot of good memories of upstate NY. Really gorgeous summers! <br />I'd recommend that you work out in a New Balance 928. It's a walking shoe but it's got a great sole for anyone with Hallux Limitus. It's a bit chunkier and heavier than you are probably used to - but I'm pretty sure you're going to love how it feels! If for any reason you are not crazy about the New Balance 928 - try the NB 1540. <br />Hope all is well and stay warm!<br />Cathy<br />:)Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-1666027735144488142013-02-22T10:29:43.931-08:002013-02-22T10:29:43.931-08:00Hi Dr McCarthy, I am from upstate NY and I just lo...Hi Dr McCarthy, I am from upstate NY and I just love your blog.I have hallux limitis in both toes, and finding the right shoes to wear to work has been a nightmare.

RA patients need protection for their feet - a thick rigid sole with cushion on the interior, a wide and soft square toebox and good rearfoot control. I'm really excited about the Hoka One One shoes!<br />Hope all is well!<br />Cathy<br />:)Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-23192839612933854432013-02-13T15:20:20.082-08:002013-02-13T15:20:20.082-08:00Hi Bianca,

They are too flexible. They sell well because they are light and patients erroneously think that makes them comfortable - but that is not the case. I think they are getting good reviews because people put them on and they feel great - UNTIL they slip off a curb or stair or step on a rock and then - they are not protective enough. All it takes is one false move in a bad shoe and it's fractures and sprains!<br />Hope that is helpful,<br />Cathy<br />:)Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-5133569773171987642013-02-10T15:52:18.701-08:002013-02-10T15:52:18.701-08:00What about a casual shoe for walking around campus...What about a casual shoe for walking around campus? Would the Skechers GOwalk be ok? They seem to get good reviews but the only thing that worries me is the claim that they are flexible. I would put inserts in them for arch support but I dont know if they are too flexible.
