Re: best shoes for comfort

[Guest guest]

For tennies, I like Ryka for the wide toe box. Found a pair of Easy

Spirit tennis shoes at Marshalls that have been great this summer.

For a comfortable dress shoe, I'd suggest the Munroe line, which I

recently discovered at Nordstrom. But the most important thing is to

have a good pair of arch supports, preferably custom made, to go

inside the comfortable shoes!

Hi Peggy,

I also have painful feet and have found two brands of shoes I can

wear: Merrell and Ugg. I have had good luck with various kinds of

shoes from these two companies. The Uggs are like slippers and the

Merrells provide good arch support. Some styles are more comfortable

than others so try a variety.

I hope this is helpful.

I would recommend Easy Spirit. They have several different styles, maybe

one would suit you.

I have worn them for years. Unfortunately, they changed the style slightly

on the walking sneakers and the sides are higher and hurt my ankle. I have

a few nuts and bolts in it from a bad break several years ago and one of the

bolts gets rubbed from the sneaker.

I also put those pads in the sneakers for extra comfort, so do get your

sneaker a bit bigger and wider than you would normally get if you plan on

putting pads in. Actually you may want to get the sneakers a bit wider

anyway for the times your feet swell. It does help a lot.

As for shoes.....what are those? LOL I haven't bought a pair of shoes in

probably 9-10 years. They just hurt too much. Emotionally it kills me

because the feminine styles are finally back. I just love the styles in the

heels! Darn it!

Hope you find something comfortable.

Until recently, I didn't know that " double wide " existed, but I found

some very attractive ankle high boots that are wide enough and deep

enough to accommodate my arch supports--and they are surprisingly

sleek-looking! Munro brand--got them at Nordstrom. (Expensive, but

worth it to me to have a nice-looking pair of shoes for work.)
