Looked at shoes today. Ended up buying Klogs. Feet are tired, but not in as much pain. I officially have old lady shoes now.

Z-coil. I guess its worth a shot.

I'm pretty much flat footed. My dad had x-rays done to his feet and he has tons of tiny tiny fractures all in his feet bones. He can have surgery to fix it (dont know how), but he'd have to be off his feet for 6 months. As you can guess he's never had the surgery.



You cant beat a good pair of Tiddie Sandals. I have the 3 layer one and when they are new they are SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO comfortable.

Those look comfy Fleck. I was going to suggest SAS Factory Brand shoes. They are kind of pricey but super comfortable. Erik bought a pair and absolutely loves them. Says they are the kind of shoe you could wear all day and not get tired.

I tried a pair but the insole hit me in the wrong area for my arch. Otherwise I would be an owner too.

They are handmade in Texas.

You can try going to the Foot care section of walmart. Many of them have a foot testing machine that will tell you if you foot has arch issues or is pronated. It will recommend an orthotic insert that you can buy there. They are a little price but less than new shoes and you can always return them. Walmart will take anything back.

Here is the link

Those are nationwide? I had no idea. They are awesome. That is all my mom wore when we were kids and she worked three jobs.

We have a factory outlet store about 10 minutes from my house and I think there is another one down between Columbus/Cincinnati area. So I guess so.

Alot of the ladies have already seen these in the ladies area...but I just started using these. I am loving them, and if I could wear them to work I would. If it doesnt matter what they look like, and you just need feet coverings, read some info and the research on these types of shoes. Also, check out the ladies "barefoot running" thread for additional details.

Ugly as hell, but the health benefits are worth it.
