Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I was having some foot pain on the outside of my foot when dancing or walking long distances. So I went to the podiatrist who examined me and did an x ray and diagnosed that I had some arthritis in the cuboid joint on the side of the foot. The doctor gave me some stretches to do and recommended some shoe inserts and also recommended Hoka shoes, Bondi model. I had never heard of this shoe, they sell it in the running shoe store.
The shoe looks weirdly ugly (has a very thick sole and comes in strange colors) and it is expensive, about $150. But it is VERY comfortable, like walking on a pillow. I have been wearing the shoes for a couple of weeks and my foot pain is gone. I researched the shoe, it was developed by some runners to increase springiness (Hoka means running on air or something similar). Now in addition to runners people with all sorts of arthritis are buying them.
DH has knee arthritis. I was bragging so much about my Hokas DH bought a pair and says it is helping his knees.
I just wish they were not so ugly. I wish they made a version that was more like a dress shoe.
