Wading
Chuck,
You should be able to purchase this stuff in any medical supply
store... I'll get all the particulars, name brand, sizes, etc., next
time I'm at a hospital... I'm working the ambulance today so should be able to
post that information later today... I know it comes in all different
sizes, (widths)...

and Wading
Jimmy,
I've had problems with my feet also and what I've done, which has
helped drastically, and my feet don't hurt any more, is take some casting
material, (the kind we use at hospitals that are moistened then wrapped
around the extremity and it hardens very quickly), place it into your
shoes and the moisture from your feet will set the casting
material.... It forms to your foot and save hundreds of dollars that
podiatrists charge for inserts...

This
post is definitely Fishing Related.(SEE BELOW). If my feet get
much worse, I'll be confined to the tying bench and wading will be a
thing of the past. I made the comment several years ago on the VFB
that as long as I could wade, life would be great. Now, it appears
that I'm about to lose one of the things I enjoy most in life.
Read below and if any of you have any suggestions, please speak
up. If you want to do it on list, that
will be fine with me. Other members may also have the same
problem.
TNX for any help you can give
me.

I either have severely brittle metatarsals or there's something else going on with my feet. I'm now down to just one brand of shoes, (KSwiss) that give me any comfort. When I do a lot of walking, like shopping or walking my fence line repairing the fence at my ranch, the evenings are agony for both my feet. If I stay off them for a couple of days, they seem to be OK, However, another juant like going to Walmart with my wife brings the pain back with a vengeance, as does a day of wading when I'm fly fishing. My Podiatrist was of no help whatsoever. He just said that I had the same ailment as Jose Maria Olazabel, the golfer and it would take a long time for the metatarsals to heal. Didn't put me in casts, Nothing - just take it easy a few days. I'm about 20 pounds over weight and 5' 10" tall. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
