My Dr. didn't mention Birkenstocks, but did say to use any shoe with a good arch support and that the heel of the shoe should be at least one inch higher than the sole. He said to try Rockports, Dexters, Easy Spirit, etc.. I tended to take his advice because he was once a sufferer from heel spurs. He said that he changed shoes and rarely wears moccasins any more. He also said he lost about 20 pounds.
And his heels do not bother him any more. He said to stay away from any shoe with a negative heel (meaning heel is lower than the sole). I don't have any birkenstocks, but do have a couple of pairs of Dexters.
Good luck.
Rita
