I have difficulty of walking too. In my case I have found out that I can walk by using Hush Puppies, barefoot, and with my slippers. I cannot wear a dress shoe as it is impossible for me to walk with them for a few minutes. At one time, i thought that the reason I could not walk with my dress shoes, was because of the heel, so I had it lowered, but it did not help. I went to the foot clinic, but they could not help, and could not understand why I could walk with my Hush Puppies and not with my dressed shoes. The major problems of my disability started in the fall of 1984. cheers, J.P. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!163!223!Jean-pierre.Beland Internet: Jean-pierre.Beland@f223.n163.z1.fidonet.org
