    Look up MBT shoes on Google, that's what I've been wearing ever since my foot and ankle were fused. I tried some of my old Nike's, and other trainers that I already owned, but the curved / rocker bottom on all of the MBT's helps with walking. They're not the cheapest pair of shoes, but worth it in my opinion. Hope this is helpful.
