Who knew finding a pair on old school vans would help my right foot walk better for about 7 years I invested in sketchers, but I've learned that within three months of wearing sketchers sport shoes they make my ankle roll because I've told everyone before in the group chat that I walk with a limp. I guess we're in the right kind of shoes does benefit you if you have a problems with your feet I have tingling sensations like and stuff, but it comes and goes

For me, I need alot of ankle support, And light weight sneakers aren't good.

If I don't have adequate support,, Like You, my ankle rolls, And I have had arthritis because of it, So, The best sneakers I have found are Under Armour cross-trainers.

Thanks for the thank you for the suggestion of what type of shoes you use Guitar Man 79. I just figured Skechers was not doing anything for me anymore so the vans are cool but maybe next time I buy shoes I’ll invest in something more sturdier yeah my ankle just rolls a lot and it’s frustrating because people will stop me in the grocery store and asked me about a foot brace I have one in my closet but it’s a daily reminder that I don’t wanna wear it. I really relate to you in a lot of ways. I think I’ve told you this before.

Yes You, have, And Your welcome!
I have tryed slip-on's, And there just not that sturdy, And also, I have flat feet, So, My feet roll like crazy.

I use to wear brace-like orthotics,

Which I hated, They rubbed blisters all the time, and had to ware High top Basketball shoes, And the wingtips had to be a certain hight to hide the the wingtip of the orthotic, If the wingtip on the sneaker wasn't high enough, I felt so self-conscious.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    So voc rehab finally got in touch with me...it took like six months finally.  The voc rehab person that they assigned to me is a lawyer and extremely knowledgable on disability law and he seems to know a great deal about how to get people placed in jobs and how to make their resumes pass ATS.  I was really surprised at how articulate and energetic he is.  I guess my question is how much I...
