No, "how t feelt the answer. If your Podiatrist doesn't know more about
what is best, you should be seeing someone else.
An example
years ago I used to get good leather shoes. My rightr foot slumps to
the right.
The nice comfortable shoe soon pushed out of shape and, ehile my FEET
felt fine, I had calf and thigh problems, and some back problems
A doctor I saw then Ortho I saw suggusted that I try a pair of cheap
imitation leather shoes. They don't streatch. Since then I no longet
have back and leg pain. The shoes wear badly on the ecge, and I throw
them out regularly to get another pair of cheap non-straatchable shoes.
Tjhe shoes I am getting are supposed to com,pensate for the pul;l; (I
will find out over the next 6 or so months) instead of just refusing to
streatch
