I also desperately need to find some more shoes I can wear. I have arch pain in both feet but mostly the right, as well as VERY sensitive heels on the underside and back. At the moment I can only wear one pair of runners which have arch support built into the original insole. I have been wearing these for the last 2 months. But with the Aussie summer soon approaching I definitely need a pair of sandals and ideally a pair of slippers too.

I am afraid that my heels will not be able to tolerate the shoe sole without the cushioning effect of socks. My heels are so sensitive that they feel any kind of 'edge'.

Any suggestions/ideas?

I am seeing the podiatrist this week to discuss having a pair of orthotics prepared and which type of sandal I can buy.
