Hi Maria,

I was kind of having similar problems with shoes and backpain prior to ADR. I didn't go to a podiatrist, however I did go to a medical equipment store that specializes in a bit of everything. I had my feet measured for a pair of Birkenstock(sp) shoes. At first they were sooooo comfortable, they were uncomfortable (if that makes sense until I broke them in (about a month or so). After that it has been smooth sailing with them. There an expensive shoe, but well worth it in my book.
