: Hi there.

: What seems to work even better for me is to wear an old pair of sports
: sandals that I trimmed to fit into the footwell (otherwise they were just
: too big!) I think it is because the heel strap then carries the weight of
: my legs rather than all the pressure being focused on the 'corner' of my
: heel that makes the difference; it's more like a pair of real shoes with a
: heel cup that spreads the pressure around.

Pete,
You mentioned this to me at R2K1, so I tried it and it works great! Thanks.

Bill
