6. I sure do remember these machines. Every visit to the shoe store, you had to use it.

The salesman would give some kind of sales pitch and out I came with new shoes.

Makes me wonder.
I have Morton's Meuroma's in both feet, and in addition, my right foot has a nasty bunion and hammer toe.
Hurts like the devil all the time and I wear orthotics with extremely soft sole to help soften my step.

I wish this happened years ago when I had good insurance, I'd have had it corrected. Now It will have to wait until I can't walk. My Medicare Supplement hardly covers anything.

At least I can now blame the machine, true or not.!
