    Orthotics for Morton's Neuroma

    Hi - I empathize with your situation. 3 weeks b4 my first Camino last year i developed a miserable and paralyzing neuroma in my left foot. I immediately saw my podiatrist who recommended a shoe with a 6mm drop from heal to toe and not an ankle boot as the pressure around the ankle was also...
