Stiff-soled shoes?

I have the same issue. I have been wearing Dasko Clogs and they seem to work the best for me but it is the summer and i can't wear them with shorts so I am trying to find something else. Anyway...ideas??

 

My doctor recommended the anti-gravity line by Easy Spirit, Dansko flat sandals or the Skechers with the unflexible soles (shape ups maybe?)

 

Today our orthopedic surgeon recommended use of stiff-soled shoes for my wife, and named the following brands to look at. We agree that the only way to be sure they are stiff and will keep the front of your foot from flexing during walking is to try on the shoes. The named brands to look at are:
* Birkenstocks
* Orthaheel
* Fitflop
* Dansko
* Mbt (rockers)

From a quick online check, it appears that they are all rather spendy, but you have to do what you have to do.

 

Reebok DMX Max will work wonders if you can find them. I can only find them on line and everyone seems to be out of 11 EE.

 

Try hiking shoes.

 

I also have a foot condition that requires me to wear stiff-soled shoes. The best ones I have found are from Xelero. They don't have a steel shank, but do have a control plate made of some composite material. The downside is that they are expensive and the soles wear quicker than I would like. I have found a place (NuShoe) that will resole them. I have two re-soled pair and it appears that the uppers will wear out before the soles. Hope that helps.
