Hey guys, so if you guys have been following or seen one of my later videos that I had my fist surgery back in April due to my degenerative nerve disease that affects my peripheral nerves. It's been a slow healing process and just process in general. Due to what I could and could not do. I was not allowed to walk for about eight weeks. Then I got put into a walking boot and to gradually ease into that without using crutches. Then my doctor wanted me to start walking in shoes, but I could not do that until I got a foot brace. So, as my life, I've had foot braces and they were big and bulky and uncomfortable, hard to find shoes to fit into them. But he recommended a lightweight carbon fiber foot brace. So I'd give it a try. It doesn't hurt to try and see if something else would work. So I found some shoes by this company called Billy. It has zippers. So you can pull this up and you have more room to fit your foot into it. And then it does have laces. You only have to tie those once and then where they're at is where they stay unless you want them looser or tighter. But when you take it off, you just unzip it. Here's what the brace looks like in the shoe. And it's actually very comfortable. But I'm just slowly, gradually getting into walking and figuring out what works and what doesn't.
