Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	I just was TOLD by a friend that I NEED to get proper shoes, since I stand most of the day on concrete in my soap shop. Being clueless about this stuff,I just wear flip flops or slippers! So, does anyone recommend any good shoes? We have Kohls,Foley's around here...and Target! The friend told me that I need to spend, like 50 bucks, not 19.99! How sad that I did not know why my knees and hips hurt so much that I have to take several rests a day. I just thought it was my body nearing 50 that was the culprit! Anyone have any advice?? _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

Says they single handedly cured her bad back etc. I don't remember the name of them, but some of the other ladies might. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	Di, have you heard of Birkenstock shoes? I swear by them. They have fantastic foot beds. Here is a link, where you could order online if there isn't a store near you. http://www.onlineshoes.com/landing.asp?type=brand&brandid=37&fo=drop

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Oh, I"ve had a pair of Birkenstocks since 1993. I love them, too,but the cork is not enough support. I use mine as ugly sandals now. They are really, really worn down. I'm going MJM Designer Discount shoes today. i just got DH a nice pair and got an excellent price! _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

Mountain Ash Member Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 3027	I found Fly Flots from Padders who import them from Italy just a treat. The insole moulds to each persons foot shape. Mostly they are sandles and mules.so not too far from flip flops but a world apart. Recently their catalogue shows town shoes and I cant wait to try them Mountain Ash

Sadie Member Registered: 10/08/04 Posts: 1274 Loc: MD	Well, when I worked in sales and for christmas at William Sonama one year I purchased a pair Of SAS shoes for standing and they are expensive , but they are good for walking and working in. My father sold shoes and I can fit anyone in a pair of shoes and boy do I hate to see people in a pair of shoes that are to big or to small , I can spot these people a mile away , or just about . You can really mess your feet up if you don't have the proper fit . _________________________ Courage is very important Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use .

LSmith5434 Member Registered: 10/02/05 Posts: 370 Loc: Washington State	I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet, and I haven't found a comfortable pair of shoes yet. Don't think I ever will. But........I did learn to late, but am now letting every one I know to take care of their feet by wearing the right kind of shoe no matter how much they cost.

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	Di, I think you have to pay more like $100 for decent shoes, maybe $50 on sale. There's a new store around here called the Walking Company (maybe it's called the Walking Store) that has rather attractive but fortifed shoes. Unfortunately most shoes for women are shoddy and temporary since women shoppers are supposedly more interested in fashion than comfort and health. _________________________ http://dcvance.wordpress.com/
