i use to get wounds on the top of my toes. outter toes. I found that fabric mesh ( stretch optimal) is the best . I also wear a thin nylon over my compression hose. Also, I let my feet air out as much as possible. clean and dry. It appears to help decrease the friction (?) between the top of my toes and my shoes. I have very thin feet. vasal contriction problems . My custom insoles are taken out of my shoes nightly. I was told not to wear the same shoe daily, but to alternate them. I think it does have to do with circulation and moisture in the shoes. nancy Charles Meyer wrote: >Mary, > >It is strange but I have been experiencing a similar problem which I hadn't >directly > linked to PD (until now).
