New diagnosis of Dupuytren’s contracture and Ledderhose disease
Hi All,
The Dupuytren’s is not so problematic at the moment and can also be operated on in the future to ease symptoms hopefully.
My feet however, are a different story! They are so painful and other than paracetamol there is little I can do to ease the pain. To date I’ve not been offered alternative pain relief and cannot take standard ibuprofen based relief as I also have dodgy kidneys.
My question is how do you find suitable footwear and inserts? Is there a specialist store as I don’t trust buying this type of thing online at least until I’ve found something that works? My walking boots are the most comfortable footwear I have. Obviously can’t wear them everywhere and party season is fast approaching!
Thank you
Sue

Hi @Susan01
I remember this old thread where people suggested what shoes had helped them.
There are other threads if you put it into the search - tip right of page click on the magnifying glass icon. I personally usually use skechers and remove the lining adding my own orthotics insole.
Best of luck
