fat pad atrophy on ball of foot
I have what my foot doctor has diagnosed as fat pad atrophy on the ball of my foot. I have not been able to walk compfortably for quite a while. I am 84, male and weigh 162#. Is there anything you can suggest to cushion my shoe, also is there a specific shoe that I can purchase anywhere?

A silicone insert on the back of the Achillotrain leaves tendon pressure-free and provides intermittent compression for the reduction of swelling and edema.
