Judy describes reaching a point where walking even a short distance brought on sharp foot pain. In this interview, she explains how reading about barefoot approaches led her to seek care from Dr. Ray McClanahan and reconsider the space available for her toes.
Her search for footwear became a practical project: she studied a shoemaking book and made her own shoes. The story brings together her frustration with fit, the support she says she received and her determination to keep walking.
At the time of the interview, Judy reports progress but also acknowledges that change is slow and may never be complete. Her experience is a personal account, not a promised result for other older adults or evidence that one footwear approach addresses every cause of foot pain.
