Comfortable shoes   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #353 of 592 |

Hello!

My name is Lisa and I have LGMD 2B. I have problem finding comfortable shoes and I wonder if someone else have experienced the same problem? I can still walk, but it's really difficult if I wear wrong shoes. I have brought a couple of expensive shoes which have seemed right, but when I started using them they have not worked. According to my physiotherapist and orthopaedist I have very short heel-strings, this is remarkable because I can't wear shoes with high heels. I need shoes which are very low and I have only one pair of walking shoes which are comfortable and they are ragged and out-of-date now. Is anyone familiar with Dictus band?

Best regards

Lisa
