IMHO (I have NO medical experience) I would try the arch fit sneakers or at a minimum RUNNING sneakers as both of these have additional support, then a suitable exercise or rehab. When I was in rehab for a shoulder injury, I saw other patients going through exercises for balance.
Last thing, I have balance issues due to an inner ear problem and i know there are certain things I must avoid, you may want to have a suitable doctor check this out also.
Thank you Tinker, you ALWAYS HELP!
