I recently went to get some good sneakers for standing/walking all day and revisited the ghost/ghost max and glycerin. The shoe felt good, but when I went to measure my foot for the first time in years, it was 4 in men, 5.5 in women's, with the arch length the same. I've been wearing 8.5s to 9s all my life so I want to try a properly fitting shoe since I haven't found a comfortable pair in ages.

Problem is, mens Brooks only go down to 7, they don't make 4e widths, and the women's sizes - even a glycerin 22 size 6w, width 2e, is too constricting in the forefoot and tight on the upper.

What would you do in my situation? Get a 7 mens and deal with the extra length? Size up in women's and hope an extra size gives me more breathing room? Or are there other sneakers that can make for a perfect fit?

Thanks in advance!

I know it's been asked a million times, but for those here with high arches, drop foot, and intense supination/inversion, what everyday shoes work for standing/walking long periods? I tried hoka bondi's, the amount of cushion made me very unstable and fatigued quickly. My Curry 8's (with superfoot insoles) feel very stable, but after standing for a while, my calves and feet kill me from the lack of cushion.

Currently looking at high top shoes low to the ground (SB dunk high) and basketball shoes like the curry (Sabrina 2). Feel like my options are unlimited and don't know what else to try

Hi all, I've had custom afo's fitted and adjusted a few times. When they're first on, they feel OK, but after standing or walking for 45-60min, the soles of my feet start to really hurt, any my job requires it... I have custom insoles, but I understand since the afo is molded then it should have custom insoles on top of it.

I'm going to try Tylenol tomorrow but I'm frustrated because I haven't been able to fix the discomfort/pain, even if my gait is OK. Even put in a thin flimsy insole with a cutout for my callus, which helps just a bit. Has anybody tried anything that helps? I'm considering these Plastazole full-contact moldable insoles for more comfort in the afo.

Anybody do hand exercises? Like with exercise putty or something similar. I have full function but get frustrated when my hands start trembling or getting fatigued with a sustained effort of fine motor control and isometric holds.

Recently started walking on the treadmill for exercise instead of stationary cycling and it's more difficult, but I like the functional gains it supports. Would you recommend walking for exercise with or without AFOs? I usually only wear them at work, and without them otherwise, but I'm not sure if walking without them is supporting maladaptive compensatory mechanisms and worsening my gait, or reinforcing compensatory mechanisms that support a functional gait without my AFOs on.

Title: Galaxy S23 - always on display not working

Description: Always on display doesn't work. The only time I actually see the aod is when (in always on mode) I lock the screen => double tap => lock screen appears then timeout => aod appears before timing out to full screen off 5 seconds later

1. updating Samsung AOD app and system
2. ensuring it's set to always on
3. disabling power saving and adaptive power saving
4. restarting
5. force stop and clear AOD app cache, then data
6. uninstall and reinstall aod updates
7. being gaslit by Samsung customer support and told that the always on display is not supposed to always be on

Device Name: Galaxy S23

Device Model Number: SM-S911U1

Hi all. I got traditional AFOs a while back and every time I try to wear them, I can't stand them. They're inconvenient, unnatural, bulky, and painful in multiple spots. I'm really interested in getting the TurboMed external foot brace, and I'm wondering what I need to do to have it covered by insurance.

Presumably I need a new prescription for my neurologist. Does it need to say I didn't tolerate traditional AFOs? How would I go about having it covered through Physiotech? There aren't any orthotisists near me indexed on the TurboMed website, so I don't think the one that prescribed my current AFOs will work with me to get TurboMeds

90g tank, most of my rock has a healthy purple color, but a couple are bare and there's no coralline on my back wall or glass.

I want a tuxedo urchin, but if I had to choose, I'd rather have coralline-encrusted live rock. What have been your experiences? Will a tuxedo urchin noticeably clear my coralline over time?

Changed my oil for the first time, and when I first opened the metal service bay cover (beneath the trunk floor panel) some of the screws just fell through to the washer without latching onto any thread. The second time I noticed that all but two screws didn't latch. It seems like they're losing some clip on the underside of the service bay cover that allows them to screw in. Anybody else experience this?

I have a Giant Defy that I'm planning to use as my commuter, but I'm going to need a rack to keep from getting a sticky back. Unfortunately, most of the bike racks I'm seeing are either bulky/hideous, incompatible, or extremely expensive (Tailfin). Any recommendations?
