This is going to sound really strange, but here goes...

I've said before I'm not the typical MSer; I'm actually doing pretty well, other than major fatigue, intermittent pain, and some walking issues, so please bear with me when I ask this silly question.

I work full-time and have never had a problem wearing heels, although since my diagnosis, the heels have gotten lower and lower. But in the last two years I've become unable to wear pumps. If the shoes don't have some means of being held on to my foot (e.g. straps, laces), they slip right off my feet when I walk. I've considered that maybe my shoe size has changed, but when I try smaller shoes, not only do they still not stay on, but they're uncomfortable because they're obviously too small! Could this be because I've lost strength/muscle in my calves??? I honestly feel like this makes no sense!

I know this seems like a non-issue, but I have a very hard time finding shoes for my work attire because of this. And I would like to know if I've lost muscle in my calves, if I can do something to recover it.

Thanks for any input.
