Can you provide some advice for someone who's had ankle & heel fusion ?

Rocker bottom shoes: Even height of the hips is important to maintain through the shoe accommodations, heel lifts, etc.

Yes: Chances are that it has left your leg shorter than the other. You will either need a special shoe or will need to have a lift attached to your current shoe.
