What could I wear on the other foot to balance my walking and avoid hip pain?

Something like a hiking boot ie.Timberland boot. I wore a hiking boot which has a wedge heel sort of.

I wore a tall lace up boot With an insole on the other foot. A tall lace up leather boot is in effect a modest ankle brace, so, this did three things. One, it equalized the height of both ankles at the heel. You can adjust the height by swapping insoles till its right. Second, the stiff tall boot on the good foot helped match the walking stride of the good leg to the injured one, eg. Restricted it a bit. Third, it gives you a pair of tall lace up boots to contineu wearing to protect your ankle in the contunuing healing process, which takes a year or two to get it right. I Wear a different shoe in a different style every day, going barefoot on Sunday. :) after church. This helps keep your mustles balanced and growing stronger. Its a process, all the best to ya.

No. I wrap my ankle with it and elevate the foot for the 15-20 minutes I wear it. Too spongy to walk.

Put the thick part by the toes with the thin part facing your ankle. I put it in and tested where it felt best before sticking it down. Feel better.

I don't know how long one would have to wear them to permanently improve alignment. Yoga toes are very helpful in releasing foot and toe tension and this does improve walking and balance for me. Because I already have a bunion on one foot I doubt these would help keep alignment in that foot but yoga toes help my feet to adapt better to that bunion.

No, it rests on your shoulder with the other end on your opposite hip. I wear two to balance them out and double my capacity.

I just clip my Fitbit One to my bra. Rarely does it show under my blouse, but if it does, I just turn it around (facing me vs. facing out). This position works great for me. I guess you could also try wearing it on the hip of your lower intimates, but I'd personally worry about losing it.

I also have PF in both feet, one worse than the other. I purchased only one because I wanted to make sure it was comfortable before purchasing 2. Now I just alternate when needed. My feet tend to fall asleep with it, but it definitely helps with the pain. I hope this answer helps!

Stand still. Place both feet flat and try not to lean to one side or the other. Once you do this, the results are consistent within a tenth of a pound.

First of all, if your mom has pain, she probably should see a podiatrist. She may have specific issues with her feet that call for orthotics, or other treatment. For maximum cushioning (which I desire, as I have back problems) I start with a good cushioning shoe like a New Balance. I then use *two* insoles, starting with the Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer on the bottom and *this* sole (Syono Orthotics Gel) on top. The combination gives me maximum cushioning while adapting to my foot, and I can and do walk an average of 5 miles per day (fast exercise walk) with no problems.

Yes, you should have the ankle supports as tight as you can get them. You might also try adjusting the height you have it set on. You shouldn't experience much movement when you invert.

Hello Shelia, Yes it can be worn on your left foot. I wear it on my left foot..

I agree that you should not walk around in these splints for day-to-day chores. But for getting up at night to use the bathroom or some other short walk when you intend to go back to bed afterwards - that is fine. Just remember to take heed to adjust your stance to remain balanced.

I put them in both shoes...right and left. Seems to be neutral and functional for both feet....helps relieve pain. These were recommended by my podiatrist and I carry two extra in my purse, just in case my neuroma needs relief.

It was fine to walk on. A little awkward if you are on uneven ground. Much better than crutches!

Yes. There is no need to keep your legs straight. You can even put your knee in the strap instead of your foot.

probably get a med or small. I wear one, it's more about fixing my foot than fashion, and it helped!

I only have one on my left foot but short walks are fine. It's a lot more comfortable than the hard rigid ones!!
