Sorry, this is from the donation page:
In the last 5 years I have had 16 surgeries on my feet. They are each deformed terribly now. I have spent a total of 3 years on bed rest. Why did I have 16 surgeries? Because none of my shoes for too long have been made specifically for my feet. They rub they make wounds, I have surgery, foot gets more deformed, they rub more, I have more surgery and so on. And the circle goes on. I am now recovering from my last set of 3 surgeries, and I still have no shoes. I have 1 pair of clogs; they have no shape that holds my foot,
they have no grip on the bottom, so going out in the winter is suicide, it hurts horribly to walk in them, and they hurt my feet, legs, hips, and back.
A few orthopedic shoe makers and orthopedic doctors have said the only way to stop the circle is to have Laser scans done of each foot. No outlining of the foot on paper, no making molds from stepping into styrofoam filled boxes, no measurements with a measuring tape. Each foot has to be scanned with a laser, so that every surface is seen. Where to give me four point arch support, where the deformities & scars are, where everything is. Then they can mold a cast from the 3D computer model.
--------------------------
I know there may be questions about where this amount came from. Mostly it’s what a Reebok employee told me in a conversation through e-mail. Also, I have been told a similar sum by a private shoe maker in LA. And a few other shoe companies over the years.
