They look like real solid shoes and should help support the add ons. Some serious getting used to them time involved I bet, but should help you walk a lot. Probably cant run any marathons but a hell of a lot better than what you had!

Yep... I got all shook up that you were throwin' yer belt n hooks back on just for a little "Walkin' Around Money"! Get some boot oil on those Carolina's to help break em in and protect them. While your at it,put some boot oil on yourself too! Expect your skin to bother the livin' *censored* out of you until you develop some callous type resistance against the new pressures and contact points. Stay in touch with the Orthotic Folks if you start to bleed. You know the drill,as it's the same as when you first started climbing those sticks! Take Care...freetown fred wrote: ↑Thu. Mar. 18, 2021 1:44 pmWell, back from orthotics--right foot-just insert to cover missing toes---left foot-insert & brace thinggy!!!!! LOL Some pressure pains but boots are also brand new --sooooo, on 5 day-- gettin used to them--regimen--kinda feel like old school clamp-on's--pre-sissy ass buckets!! LOL

At least you will get them on the correct foot from now on. Good luck with the getting used to, learn to walk before run & all that jazz.
