Just wondering, as soon as I put on shoes, my feet start that strange itching/burning sensation. They feel best barefoot. Can anybody explain why? I have good shoes, that should not be the problem.
Thanks.

Same with me. I also have less trouble when I wear flip flops. I always think it's because if there is any swelling or inflammation, it is not all bottled up in a shoe, and flip flops slide off easy when sitting down. When I was first diagnosed, I only bought the best recommended shoes and socks at specialty foot care shops. I thought if I paid special attention to my feet, I could avoid some of the problems other people have had. I spent quite a bit of money before it dawned on me that barefoot felt best and it was free.

Anyone tried Crocs?

I recently had a small operation in the local hospital. All the surgeons and nurses wore crocs. I noticed but did not make any connections at the time.

Then recently I became aware they have a whole range not only for us normal consumers but also professional and medical grades!

I have not tried them myself but they look roomy, and it would be interesting to hear feedback from people who have LD or other feet troubles, and especially if they used any of the specialist range of crocs?

Both me and my daughter wear fitflops - my daughter Ellen for her ledderhose and me for my planter fascitis - in croc style. I work as a veterinary nurse and am on my feet for 12 hour shifts and they are the most comfotable shoes - Ellen's school weren't happy about her wering croc style shoes to school but they have helped
