The sandals look pretty good. (Not unlike a Birkenstock) They did not have the style I liked in my size, and with the $$$ factor, I guess I'll be happy with the walking shoes.

My SIL is a chiropractor and gave me a script for 10% off (List $245. my cost - $220.) I have spent a fortune on workout DVD's, Nordic Track, etc. and never felt that quilty. At this age, I think anything that will keep me ahead of the game is worth it. I suppose they could even be considered a 'medical expense' since they were 'prescribed' but that's probably a stretch.
