Do your feet hurt all the time?
Written By Paulette Hill
I understand, I had to quit my Job in November 2006 because my feet hurt so bad! I have Fibromyalgia but I am not sure nor are the Doctors sure if that is what causes my feet to hurt 24/7. I have been told that the pain could be a combination of Fibromyalgia and Plantar Fasciitis.
I have been to Three different podiatrist here in Harrisonburg, VA, Some of the treatments they tried for the pain is shots, wraps, orthodics, night splints and physical therapy, After three months of PT they released me because it wasn't helping. I just don't know what is wrong with my feet. The one thing I am sure about is what brand of shoes or sandals I can wear that help my feet feel better. The brands that I have found that make my feet feel better are Crocs and Keens. When I discovered that crocs and keens did help I bought 4 different colors of crocs and one pair of winter and one pair of summer shoes by keen.
I didn't know how popular Crocs Shoes were until I started wearing them, I have literally tried every shoe trying to find something that is comfortable on my painful feet, I can definitely walk around longer in Crocs and Keens. I have since learned that Crocs are sweeping the Nation! Crocs originally came from Canada. Now, the Crocs company is based in Colorado. Crocs are made from a patented closed-cell resin, which makes them comfortable and pliable. They are especially great for people who are on their feet all day, Like nurses, sales people, waitresses, etc I just wish I had known about them years ago!
After wearing Crocs all day, not only do My feet feel great, but My back feels better too! This is not to say that Crocs will solve everybody's feet pain, But your feet will definitely feel better. If you don't want to wear the shoes they carry inserts that you can put in the shoes that you already own.
The thing that amazes me about the patented closed-cell resin is that these shoes are unable to absorb odor. It's amazing, but even after wearing the shoes all day, they will not stink. Another benefit is that the shoes are so light they actually float when dropped in water. Speaking of water, because they can get wet I actually wear my Crocs in the shower, I do this for 2 reasons, 1) because it especially hurts when standing in one spot, two is because I won't slip in the tub and that is a great reassurance for me because I have a vertigo problem. The Crocs shoes that are ASTM or APMA certified are slip resistant and have shock absorbing soles which is why during the winter I noticed when I walk on snow or ice I didn't slide around! It's like wearing snow tires on my feet! lol
I have recently discovered that Nike Pegasus +26 XE also feel good, I discovered this when my roommate bought a pair of these Nike's and I decided to give them a try and they feel GREAT!
So I am definitely going to buy a pair.
