    Thanks for the comment. I have been using toe spacers prior to this for about 3 years and actually going barefoot most of the day for those same 3 years. When walking hiking I was using low profile soft sole Altras. I still wear spacers both in and out of shoes and they do help. But with no more cartilage in the joint stiffer soles are a must for me. Thanks and be well

    The Olympus 2 is THE most comfortable shoe I have EVER put on, but unfortunately:
    1.) This shoe is specifically designed for those with a longer BIG toe and a wide foot - I myself have a longer INDEX toe and a narrow foot.
    2.) Meaning I have to go up a size to accommodate for the longer index toe, thereby making an already too-wide shoe feel even wider.
    However, the rocker effect is specifically happening at the ball of foot, just behind the toes, as opposed to encompassing the entire length of the shoe from front to back. As someone with big toe arthritis, given the toe rocker effect (and probably the tall stack) this ill-fitted shoe still made my foot feel like it's flying first class!

    You need toe spacers and research barefoot shoes. They can realign your feet naturally my friend. I made the switch and I never realized how bad shoes are for our feet as we get older. Take care

      Was just gunna comment, even if you didn't want to go barefoot, the exercises that accompany the transitioning into barefoot shoes will be really helpful, a lot of big toe mobility and strengthening, really need to get it moving and stronger.
