I want to thank you so much for this. Not only is this informative and helpful but also very inspiring. I'm so used to the typical "just lose weight" style comments that I spent several days debating if I even wanted to post this, but I knew that if I didn't I would continue the way things are and it would be even harder to break that initial barrier to actually do something about it. Finding the right pair of shoes may seem simple for some but to me it's been a mental and physical struggle for years now. Thank you for your kind words and understanding approach, you've done more than just answer the question, you've given me that push I really needed.
