I am such an idiot

[cjsmith]

I am now the proud owner of yet another $270 pair of shoes that do not help my foot pain. Sometimes I think I am too stupid to live.

Murray Space Shoe (http://www.murrayspaceshoe.com/) makes shoes to a plaster cast of the foot, so they'd definitely fit (for $695 they'd better), but it's not clear that that's exactly what she wants. There might be some variant on "fits" that would help coax her foot into a healthier shape.

Ooo, thanks for putting that link here. I know I had it somewhere, but it's handy to have it again. :-)

That makes sense. My feet are different widths and flat and I'm diabetic so I know how tough it is to get shoes that can handle multiple problems. When I was in the Air Force I was fitted by a podiatrist and my boots were specially made. However, $695 seems awfully expensive.

It may be, but I haven't seen anyone else doing it. You also get to drive to their home in Guinda, CA to have your plaster cast made. I imagine the Murrays would be willing to retire if no one were willing to pay their price.
