Thank you! I’ll try to get some good insoles and look after my feet better.
Best wishes from France

Violette, you are most certainly NOT a whimp! Foot issues with scleroderma are quite real. I’ve learned a lot from my podiatrist, including the importance of using foam orthopedic insoles, instead of the hard kind. I hope you have access to a good podiatrist who knows scleroderma. Mine has definitely saved my feet. These issues emerged after several decades. Be well!
