Shoes with heel springs contribute to balance problems and also cause your foot to pronate. Don’t let anyone give you a fake upsell to this spring-in-the-heel junk.

Try the ones with the roller skate in the heel. What a blast!

You're trying to kill me right, lol.

I’ve heard great things about them. It’s a national chain.

OP I have WalkaSins shoe inserts. As I walk they send pulses to different parts of the sole to let me know I need to correct my balance. There is a shoe insert, and a device that attaches at my ankle.

Not the best fashion statement, but my neuropathy is so bad in my feet from Chemo, that I can’t feel the floor. I don’t have to use a walker, unless it’s long distance, for the most part a cane works well now.

I got them from the VA, but my guess is a good podiatrist, could help you with this product.
