Which model?

Ah-ha! I had a suspicion that falling asleep in a recliner with my toes tilted forward was aggravating my PF.

By the way, did you use an off-the-shelf brace to hold your foot while sleeping? And it wasn’t

A good arch support in shoes will deal with it.

I used Spenco Arch supports and they helped incredibly. I still use them in my slippers which I wear around the house almost constantly.

The shoes that work best for my feet for the same kind of support are Brooks Adrenalin. My son uses those, too, or Hokas.

Since everyone’s foot is different, you just have to try different shoes until you find something that works for you.

When I first started on the arch supports, my feet hurt so bad, I could hardly walk. It took almost a month of constant use before I started noticing that my feet were hurting less.

After many years, I can now go barefoot or wear dress shows or sandals for short periods of time if I need to without any discomfort.

Yes. I can't remember the brand though. I got it from a medical supply house.
