Had the usual injections, followed by pain meds, followed by meniscus surgery 6 years ago for a complex tear. It worked……..for 5.5 months and then another small tear developed. Over the next, 5.5 years, sometimes (short periods - days), it would be fine. Other days, I could barely walk without severe pain. Some days, an annoying, constant minor pain limited my activity. By happenstance, I WENT TO ORDER A NEW PAIR OF SANDALS AND IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH, saw a picture named Orthofeet next to the sandal I had worn for over 20 years. I looked, saw a pair of sandals that I liked the features and “took a chance”, based on the no question 60 day return policy. They came quickly and when I put them on, to my complete
Suprise, my torn meniscus knee unloaded and I haven’t had a knee pain since (around a month). Amazing. No ortho doc had ever suggested a new shoe. It is one of the top 10 things I have ever bought in my one month shy of 75 years life. I would recommend to my worse enemy. Thanks Orthofeet. I am waiting for my second pair from a podiatrist who provides an enhanced insole through Medicare once a year for free. I intend on getting three or four pairs for my collection based on need based events. Thanks Orthofeet for allowing me to walk, for the first time over 300 yards to a grandsons away bleachers (and back) for the first time in years. The last six, I live in a condo and would drive the trash less than 40 yards to the trash bin to prevent having a “bad” episode that could last for days until the pain subsided. I am truly thankful for the “new ability” to walk the mall and grocery store and with the grandkids or, OMG - excersize by walking. PS - I am also a diabetic and had my first arthritis in my other door, (second metatarsal bones two months ago, which prompted the search for a new pair of sandals in the first instance.
