My hips are a mess. Probably going to have a hip replacement in the near future.
I just wanted to mention that I found a company called Orthofeet. The shoes have great support and contoured soles (and several widths). I've purchased two pair and I also bought a pair of their insoles to use in my other shoes. You can return up to sixty days, even if used (that was what sold me). (I have no connection with this company.)
