Boy oh boy did this one hit home.... I hate shoes now. Cannot enclose my feet for any length of time... My Teva's turned on me and many others. Funny one....... I do best with sand shoes that I buy at the grocery store here in Hawaii where I live... I then buy a ortho soft get to put inside. Not fashionable at all but don't care. I am barefooted a lot around the house and lanai and have to watch closely cause stepping on the smallest thing will send me to the moon ... I am sure you know. I use to wear Birkenstock years ago and that's my next purchase but now need the strap in the back. I will walk right out of sandals
