Extradepth shoes: Charcot-marie-tooth patients ofen have foot deformities that require an extradepth shoe with an arch support or orthotic. Many of the medical shoe stores will have a wide variety of styles and types of shoes from casual to athletic.

Variable: Cmt usually produces a stiff, high arch foot with weak eversion strength. Generally a cushioned shoe (for shock absorption) with a broader base (for stability) works best, although there is no "right answer".
