Black and pink Puma brand sneakers with velcro closers(like a ballet type sneak). Now it's hip to have velcro :) I found them at Foot Locker when I was having problems tieing and untieing. The soles are not thick and I can feel the uneven ground with the soles of my feet so I don't fall, but I haven't found anything to prevent the scuffs. Hope you find something that works for you!

OH YES SNEAKERS AND SHOES EITHER FLAT OR A VERY SMALL HEAL 1 OR 2 INCHS DEPENDING ON WHAT IS MOST COMFORTABLE 4 U. THERE R 2 GOOD SHOE STORES U CAN CHECK OUT. EASY SPIRIT AND NATURALS.

SKECHERS! They are fabulous. I practically bought out the store (you can also get them online at zappos.com; skechers.com or piperlime.com). They come dressy or casual. Love my Skechers!

I read my own post question this morning and realized I didnt put a few details in it...so awake I am today lol. I wanted to say I wear Soft Spots brand shoes, and can find these at Comfort Corner I love the idea of velcro. And do any of you wear heels at all and what brand name do you wear? I have some beautiful black leather shoes that I really love but they have a high inch heel to them which makes wearing them quite limited.

Thanks for your input!! Hugs Ellen

Take the black heels to a shoe maker and ask him if can put on a lower heel.
I read that in an MS book recently a lady finds shoes and has shoe maker modify them. I do not know how expensive it is.

After I was dx, at around Easter, I forgot and put on my pumps to go to church. I fell twice because dizzyness made it immpssible for me to walk w/o falling. Good luck with the heels! lol!

I wear only Birkenstocks. The most comfortable for my needs. Besides, I live in Florida and can wear them all year around.

I wear ugg boots in winter and crocs or trainers in better weather although i`m still hopful that i`ll start wearing my high heels in the future.

I wear Dr Scholls Dyna Step running shoes. They have the gel insoles. I find the help stablize my ankle too. I even stocked up on them so I'll never run out in case they stop making them. I can't wear anything else..damn feet..lol

It depends...most days I wear ballet type flats if I'm doing something. I have all colors. I also have tennis shoes with velcro in fun colors. I wear boots in the cold weather, flat leather riding type boots or my Uggs. I wears rubber gardening boots too....out, my husband gets embarassed. I recently wore 3 inch heels to a wedding. I did ok, but I won't do it again soon.-Jen

I'm only 5'5, so its heels for me! This summer though I wore mainly Haviannas flip-flops...I love those things!

If I do wear heels I wouldnt admit it outside the privacy of my own home (wink wink)..lol
didnt know how to post to this since it looks like just the girls are answering it. but as for me I go barefoot untill absolutely necessary. I will go bareffot out to the car and carry my tennis shoes and wont put them on till we are parked at the store or restaurant or where ever we are going and they come off as soon as I am back in the car. I do everything else around the house, gardening, mowing the lawn, working in the wood ahop, etc etc, barefoot.
cant stand to have anything (not even socks) on my feet. (but maybe the ocassional high heel during play time) "snicker"
Peace to you all

Glad for all your answers. Yeah, I was curious for females as well as males what people prefer to wear on their feet for the most comfort.


Thanks for the replies.

I can't wear anything that comes up my heel, like regular sneakers or strappy sandals, because it creates a burning, stabbing pain like no other! I think that they aggravate that spasticity in my lower calf. So I wear Birks, mule style sneakers, no heels whatsoever...learned that lesson well in college! xoxoxoxoxo

I wear heels everyday. I have to. I'm not giving up! I noticed that I walk better with a heavier shoe. When I'm barefoot I find that it's sometimes harder to walk and don't put me in flip flops! I can't keep them from slipping off! Also, having an ankle strap helps me.
