My experience with him was great, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for a medical check up after two weeks of usage. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for a check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through the same way. reach him through his email address: Robinson.buckler @{{ yahoo }}. com.Shannon Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823939088866689045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-14095432520251854292021-12-29T04:17:22.806-08:002021-12-29T04:17:22.806-08:00Amazing post! .I appreciate your hard work.

I had orif surgery on 5/2 with 3 screws placed to close the gap between the 1st & 2nd metartasal and the bone that goes right above it (sorry I forgot the name of that one). I'll be in my boot until 7/18 my doctor said, at witch point I'll start PT and slowly into shoes. My question is, can you give me updated recommendations on shoes to wear. The crocs RX are no longer available and I can't find them anywhere. Any others I can use? What sneakers, sandals, stuff to wear to pool (hopefully I'll have aquatics as part of my pt)? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Just trying to get prepared and keeping my self busy in my NWB period lol.

I live in Scotland, UK so been reading your blog in the U.S. Been NWB for 5 weeks have been advised by my Consultant that could be NWB for 8-12 weeks. No longer taking painkillers which is a positive step forward and wearing a back cast which I take on and off. Been reading lots of different stories regarding this type of injury so trying to keep positive. Looking for advice on the best footwear for when I do eventually start weight bearing. Was looking at lace up Dr Marten boots which you can get in the UK. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Elmlou79https://www.blogger.com/profile/03229870557530772869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-3929005710060905332017-03-20T12:55:37.570-07:002017-03-20T12:55:37.570-07:00Thanks ever so much for your advice.

When the shoe rocks back, it can cause Achilles aggravation and even a partial tear. Stick with a shoe with a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole (absolutely no motion through the sole of the shoe!) with a higher back and a lower front -- like a New Balance 928 or 1540. <br />Thanks for reading the blog and best wishes!<br />Cathy<br />:)Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-19690187021589858702017-02-26T06:06:12.906-08:002017-02-26T06:06:12.906-08:00Hi im so sorry to bother you, i have currently a 4...Hi im so sorry to bother you, i have currently a 4th metatarsal fracture and a walker boot.

Enter the New Balance Vazee Rush v. 2. I *...(2/2) <br /><br />Enter the New Balance Vazee Rush v. 2. I *don't have to wear my orthotics with these shoes*. I can walk without pain. I am in total disbelief that this is possible, yet there I am, walking. (Still can't exactly go for a two-hour hike, but I can do my grocery shopping and not suffer.)<br /><br />They get 5 stars from EVERYONE on amazon and zappos. Nurses, dancers, all kinds of people. So I would love to hear your thoughts on why they're amazing for so many people who all probably have different issues? My toes do not suffer at all, I can't believe it... my heels also feel supported, arch too... there is just no pain... <br /><br />Here's what I think... <br /><br />- The arch is firm and moderate. Seems to suit people with both high and low arches. <br />- The shoes have a 6 mm drop. I think something about this matters a lot... I think it might be a really good angle for the heel/arch/toe, especially with the way the arch is molded... maybe it distributes weight in a unique way, I'm not sure... neither toes nor heel suffer with the way the sole is, anyway.<br />- And, the sole curves upwards at the toe (which helps my toes, less pressure on them). So it makes it easier for the foot to sort of roll along as you walk, I think this really helps with forward propulsive movement, along with the 6mm drop.<br />- The material of the sole seems to be something unique that is absorbing the shock, or something, in a very effective way. Again, toes do not hurt *at all*. NB talks a lot about some material, something called a "Rapid Rebound midsole"... I swear, something in this material must be magic... Other NB shoes that don't have this, even really well fitted ones, still feel heavy and, well just like typical running shoes. My feet just don't get *tired* in these shoes. There is literally no pain, anywhere.. <br />- They're incredibly light. My 12 oz morning coffee weighs more. I think this helps in a way.<br /><br />Does this analysis make sense? I can't believe I'm actually not suffering for the first time in such a long time. <br /><br />Unrelated to my particular pain but maybe helpful to others - it's a small but nice thing - the upper is made of some kind of mesh that's formed like a sock, so there aren't any seams pressing into anything, anywhere. And there's some give in that fabric.<br /><br />Also, they're pretty cheap. <br /><br /><br />Issues with these shoes: <br /><br />- They're narrow and short. I had to go half a size up and get a D width (when I'm usually ok with medium width shoes. Slightly wider styles are usually better but medium is usually fine). Lots of people have had to do the same. <br />- Treads are good in mild 4 season weather. They do skid a bit on painted pavement, though, not sure why. <br />- Not waterproof. I sprayed these with a protectant so they haven't been bad at all in precipitation, everything's dry, but they're made of mesh on top, meant to breathe, so it can get a tiny bit cold on very cold days.<br />- I can't say I LOVE the styling/colours, but whatever. They're not horrible, they look enough like street style running shoes that I can wear them with jeans or whatever.<br /><br />(I worried a bit about the New Balance CEO's position on politics, but that has been clarified to my satisfaction. Which I'm glad about, because it feels pretty good to walk.) <br /><br />After all that - my MAIN interest, I guess, is around this 6mm drop and the sole (construction and materials). I SUSPECT that this sole is now doing a lot of the work my orthotics used to do. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your blog, looking forward to any thoughts if you have time to share.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-36929536430568377592017-01-31T02:04:23.217-08:002017-01-31T02:04:23.217-08:00Hi Dr McCarthy!

I also wonder about your thoughts on why this shoe might work, or if you'd take a look at it, because I think it would help a lot of people. <br /><br />Previously: had just peroneal tendinopathy, OA/hallux limitus, heel spurs from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, I am probably forgetting something. This wasn't ideal, but walking for more than 30 minutes became absolutely intolerable when paresthesia and metatarsalgia appeared this year. (Also - the middle of my arch is tight and painful, no answers as to why from my PT or orthotist. We don't have podiatrists where I live.) I could manage only 30 minutes without agony, in the most "comfortable" comfort shoe (wide toe box, etc etc) without experiencing that pain. I couldn't go near the boots I'd been wearing for a couple of years, which used to feel *ok* (mostly due to the metarsalgia, because those shoes had a slight heel). <br /><br />No matter what I wore, I was in trouble. If I accommodated the metatarsalgia with flatter shoes, my heels and arch suffered. If I wore any kind of standard heel, my toes were screwed.

It was a little pricey, but I have had three back surgeries, one knee replacement, and need another knee replacement. This shoe is outstanding. Recently I went on a cruise that stopped at three ports of call. I did a lot of walking and was pain free. The shoe is also light and very comfortable. The break-in took a couple of weeks but after that, it is the best shoe I have ever owned.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-40700386058989768212016-08-22T12:16:57.686-07:002016-08-22T12:16:57.686-07:00Hi Angela,

If you have any history of Achilles Tendonitis then do not wear a rocker bottom sole such as an MBT as it will rock you backwards and possibly create a new injury or tendon tear. If you find a Kuru shoe that has a sole that doesn't bend or flex (especially through the midfoot and forefoot area) then they will be a great choice. If you happen to choose a Kuru that does happen to have a flexible sole then that would not be a good choice. <br />Hope that was helpful and thank you for reading!<br />Cathy<br />:)<br />Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613146076654241194.post-1802605108249732642016-08-13T03:32:19.786-07:002016-08-13T03:32:19.786-07:00Hello Doctor!

If you purchase the NB 928V2 -- just make sure that the sole doesn't bend or flex in the forefoot area. 10% of shoes are defective, broken or poorly made, so if you get a flexible-soled NB 928V2 then ask the salesperson to get you another one (one that doesn't bend) from the storeroom. If the Powerstep is not working for you then it might be the wrong size, the wrong product or it is not the insert that is proper for you. The Powerstep should replace the insole that comes with the shoe -- it is not supposed to sit on top of the current insole. You might want to consider custom-molded orthotics.<br />Hope all is well and thank you for reading the blog!<br />Cathy<br />:)Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16089487452078445266noreply@blogger.com
