Coming to a Blog Near You!

I wanted to alert you folks about some things I am working on for the blog. Besides the survey (about 1/2 way done, BTW) I am developing a list of the following resources:

1. Qualified biomechanics specialists around the country
2. A list of orthotic labs
3. A list of shoemakers who are focused on custom therapeutic foot wear. (Sorry - no cowboy boots or 6 inch spikes.)

These will take me a month or so to complete (I DO have a day job, eh?) But you, yes, you, can help me with this project. All you have to do is to send me the resources you already use or know of, and I can include them on these lists. If you act before midnight tonight, you won't just get one, not just two, but three thanks for the price of one!

    Here is another interesting link - Otabo Custom Shoes, at http://www.otabo.com/custom-shoes-collections/otaboorthopedia.asp

    They have partnership programs all over the US - when you visit the site, click on the link for their Locations to find a custom shoe maker near you who uses Otabo's services. Pretty good looking shoes, if you ask me!
