“Without his shoes, I couldn’t walk”: a cobbler with a mission

Somewhat related, for years and years I've walked a lot (average is 4-5 miles a day, every day). About 5 years ago I started having pain in the ball of my feet and I couldn't walk much. I was about to give up, when I discovered MBTs, which are a "rocker" style shoe. It saved me. Now, I have 4 pairs that I rotate and I have many fewer issues. They gave me a scare a few years ago when they declared bankruptcy, but they came back a couple of years ago.

I believe I have Morton's neuroma, and it makes sense that a rocker-style shoe would help this malady.

Regarding the article, I don't know why some of these people can't just buy two pairs of shoes of different sizes and just use the correct shoe from each pair for each foot.

I would imagine that where there is an issue of feet of different sizes, they also correlate to different heights. If you were to get two shoes of different sizes they might individually fit better, but not correct the overall balance issue.
