These Shoes Are Made for Walking

Tim went Friday to get fitted for his new shoes and the orthodic that is made just for his feet that goes inside his shoes to off load the pressure when he walks. The process was interesting. We started with looking at different shoes. Tim chose a black smooth leather shoe. Tim stepped on what looked like a large ink pad with a plain sheet of white paper on the inked side. When he stood on the pad, it marked the pressure points on both feet. That impression was used to make the orthodotic just for his feet. We waited for it to be made, put into the shoes and fitted on Tim's feet.


Tim was very surprised at how good his feet felt in the shoe!




He walked up and down the hall trying them out! yeah! These shoes were made for walking and walking he is! He's already walking better will continue to improve each time he walks!




Congratulations to you, Tim for all the hard work you've done to get to this point! It's been a long haul but you've done what you needed to do to bring healing to your foot and now walking again. I love you!
