I've known the importance of good shoes for many years. I used to be on my feet a lot so I tried on a lot of shoes before buying to make sure they had the very best support. At this time post-op, I'm still home-bound and can't get out to try on shoes. It's hard enough just putting on one pair, let alone trying many. So I'm hoping to buy a pair online.
The shoes that have given me greatest relief in the past were a really old pair of Nikes sneakers and a pair of MBT sneakers. I could wear those all day and my back felt fairly good. But my sneakers finally fell apart and the MBT's seem too rigid now. I need a pair of shoes that are super bouncy, since my spine has zero shock absorption from the fusion. The past three days I decided to wear just slippers around the house instead of putting on the MBT's. Already I seem to have less pain in my pelvis because the slippers are thick and I can bend my foot easily.
What shoes do you like best? Have you noticed a difference in your shoes after surgery?
