240913 - Met with Mark to consider new shoes that will relieve pressure on
240914 - edges of feet causing inflammation which blocks HDL from rising, as
240915 - set out in the letter on 210707 0952. ref SDS 35 HE33 This was
240916 - previously considered in a letter to the medical team following PRP
240917 - injection treatment on 210705 2228. ref SDS 33 OG98 Doctor Thuillier
240918 - first noted that PRP concentrated platelets may prevent inflammation
240919 - from feet and knee injuries, which in turn prevents pain during hikes,
240920 - and further enables hiking to cause the liver to increase HDL,
240921 - reported on 200221 0800. ref SDS 16 WY8H
240923 - ..
240924 - Prior meeting at On-The-Run was last year on 200919 1123. ref SDS 20
240925 - XH4F At that time, purchased another set of Stable Elite inserts and
240926 - heel cushions. Also tried on Bondi 7 shoes, and they seemed stiffer
240927 - than Bondi 6 shoes I was wearing at the time. ref SDS 20 L57F
240929 - ..
240930 - Today, Mark brought out Hoka Bondi 7 shoes size 9.5 x-wide (EEEE),
240931 - planned in the letter on 210707 0952. ref SDS 35 W435
240933 - ..
240934 - Bondi 7 shoes are Hoka's upgrade to Bondi 6 shoes purchased from Mark
240935 - at On-The-Run on 190114 1429. ref SDS 12 HF6I These shoes were
240936 - replaced by Hoka under warranty on 210304 1537. ref SDS 28 SM4M Bondi
240937 - 7 shoes were tried on in the store during a meeting on 200919 1123.
240938 - ref SDS 20 L57F
240940 - ..
240941 - Mark examined the Stable Elite orthotic inserts. He noticed
240942 - extreme wear patterns on both shoes.
240944 - ..
240945 - He brought out 2 sets of new Stable Elite orthotic inserts and 4
240946 - sets of heel cushions. He placed a set of heel cushions and the new
240947 - orthotic inserts in the Bondi 7 shoes.
240949 - ..
240950 - Did test walk out of the store and around the block on 8th street to
240951 - Irving then 9th street and on around and back into the store, about .5
240952 - miles.
240954 - ..
240955 - Advised Mark that during the test hike seemed like less pressure on
240956 - the edges of the feet - Tailor's Bunions, little toes and the big
240957 - toes. This meets objectives for reducing inflammation.
240959 - ..
240960 - Mark decided to try modifying the existing Sattalite Elite inserts.
240961 - He noted 3 distinct wear areas...
240962 -
240963 - 1. big toe proximal flange joint at metatarsal bone.
240964 -
240965 - 2. middle and long toe proximal flanges and metatarsal bones.
240967 - ..
240968 - 3. cuboid bone and metatarsal edge of foot seemingly below
240969 - Tailor's bunion.
240971 - ..
240972 - He ground down some material on the bottom of each insert to reduce
240973 - pressure on these 3 areas. Tried walking in the new shoes with the
240974 - old and modified orthotic inserts. Do not notice a great deal of
240975 - difference, but it may be helpful for keeping the feet in correct
240976 - alignment and reducing pressure causing inflammation on long hikes.
240978 - ..
240979 - Mark added fiberboard stiffeners beneath the Stable Elite inserts,
240980 - which he indicated may protect the feet during long hikes, similar to
240981 - the metal inserts Doctor Tang provided during the meeting at the VA on
240982 - 210706 0900. ref SDS 34 OG4N
240984 - ..
240985 - Walked around the store with this new configuration. The shoes feel
240986 - stiff and heavier. Seems conflicting with selling points of Hoka
240987 - Bondi shoes as plush and light for hiking long distances.
240989 - ..
240990 - Bondi 7 shoes were tried during a meeting at On-The-Run, and found to
240991 - be stiffer than Bondi 6 shoes, reported on 200919 1123. ref SDS 20
240992 - OD7O
240994 - ..
240995 - Mark modified the fiberboard stiffeners with a grinder to reduce the
240996 - thickness, similar to removing material on the Stable Elite
240997 - inserts, per above. ref SDS 0 KW46 He seemed to indicate these
240998 - modifications control how pressures occur on the bottom of the feet to
240999 - prevent injuries and inflammation.
241000 -
241001 - [On 210101 0643 after 1.25 miles feet feel heavy, stiff and
241002 - pain level 1, like walking on boards, so removed fiberboard
241003 - inserts for rest of 4 mile hike. ref SDS 26 VPSR
241005 - ..
241006 - Mark asked me to try the fiberboard inserts and notify him of
241007 - results. He provided these at no cost for testing.
241009 - ..
241010 - Mark suggested taking only 1 set of Stable Elite orthotic inserts,
241011 - instead of 2, since initially will try using the old inserts with the
241012 - modifications he made today, per above. ref SDS 0 KW46
