I have been looking for a good shoe and or sneaker to wear that make my feet comfortable. I was wondering if anybody out there might have a shoe they use that they like.

Thanks for all your responses, it gives me something to think about. It's nice to know other people are going through the same things and you can put it up on the page and get feed back.

I have had trigger finger for 21/2 years and have had two cortizone shots. If it comes back I'll have to have surgery. Has anybody had a problem with this and what did you do?

I like Reebok Princess sneakers but I don't know about guys shoes. I did go to wide even tho my feet are narrow because the top of my feet are sensitive. Don't buy shoes online, tho. I had to send some back!

Everyone's foot is different. What I like could be much different than what fits someone else well. Go to a store with lots to choose from and try on a lot of different brands/models.

camp joslin

i'm new to this page, I came across it when I was searching to see if I could find any info on some of the people I went to camp Joslin with. I have had diabetes 38 years.

Thanks for posting the pic!
best,

Hi, Bruce, welcome! Here is the New Member Guide. I think there are some Groups for people who went to different camps, if you can't find anything, let me know, and I'll try to see if I can.
