This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hi, I'm Jennifer- I'll be introducing myself in the introduction section soon. Meanwhile, I had a question about a specific shoe.

I love exercising. Since the MS has been progressing lately, I'm a bit upset that I can't go as hard as I used to. I'll get cramps in my feet or shins, or I'll turn bright red in the stomach and legs and start itching like crazy. I wanted to stop some of the foot cramping, because the arch supports aren't helping as much as I'd like. I was wondering if those vibram five fingered shoes would help or hinder me? I've put them on and walked around the store, but it's a different story to actually exercise (zumba or the cross trainer) Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
