Does anyone else have a terrible time finding shoes that are both comfortable and easy to walk in?

My balance is so bad that I need flat shoes.....no heel whatsoever. If I could go out wearing only socks that would be perfect.

I usually wear a pair of Keds but wanted a slip on shoe that wasn't terribly ugly. I bought a pair of Bobs by Skechers......here they are..http://www.shoebuy.com/skechers-bobs...696667/1429231

I was surprised that they aren't as ugly as I thought they were going to be. They're easy to walk in. They don't have such thick soles that I'm tripping over them. I think I'm going to get a couple of other colors.

Since I hardly ever go anywhere these shoes will probably last me forever!

I have a pair much like those. The only shoes that I can wear now.
I don't do too much walking anymore, but they're easy to stand and
move/transfer in.

I've had success with Rocket Dog shoes. I don't wear heels either.

Check out this pair:

I have to wear my good walking shoes. I have an orthotic in both of them. It's like my feet are at the spa. For churchI wear a simple flat. Because of my poor big toenails I like a big wide toe so I have some Croc dress flats. They don't come in a 9 1/2 so I have a 10 and they are a little big for me but I don't have them on for long at all.

Vicky, I love those shoes! I might have to get a pair of them next month! I love that the soles are thin and won't trip me up. Since I have a hard time lifting my feet up enough I need something that isn't cumbersome. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've had to wear "diabetic shoes" for years, and since starting to wear them I've had a noticeable improvement in problems with back pain.

Before that I was wearing cheap sneakers for outdoors and very lightweight slippers indoors. I'm indoors most of the time, and so I wasn't getting good foot support, the foot doctor said.

I do pretty well with Propet shoes but need to wear them all the time--no slippers.

My big problem with shoes is often that they're too heavy. I tend to trip. It's hard to find shoes that give adequate arch support and that are still lightweight enough.

Also, the doctor says they should be laced, not fastened with straps. I prefer the straps but since laces were emphasized, that's what I have. They need to be laced up tight (this is from the doctor also) but I have some problems with accepting this.

Tightly laced shoes make ugly red marks on my feet, and they hurt. I'm skipping that recommendation for the time being and not lacing them so tight.

Kitty, the shoes in your link look as if they'd be too heavy for me. I think they're attractive!

For me high heels have been a thing of the past since I was in my early 30s. I gave up on them because whatever benefits I was getting from being a bit taller and more stylish were outweighed by the pain they caused.

I was going to by pass this thread because shoes are a sensitive subject to me. We have talked about shoes before and I think both of us are shoe women. I love shoes. It makes me so sad that I can't wear most of my shoes now. In fact, when I moved I gave away my pretty heels, wedges, and heeled boots. It was sad to part with them but I finally got realistic...I'm never going to wear them again.

I mostly wear flip flops and slippers. They are the only shoes that feel comfortable. I have a pair red suede flats that have a cute flower on them that I can wear for dressier occasions and I have a pair of slip on sneakers, a pair of low heeled boots for more casual occasions as well as some dressier flip flops that look fine with capris or pants.

Tricia, I know the pain of giving up the cute shoes and sandals. I donated all my shoes and it was hard but I knew someone could get some use out of them. They were only causing me stress by having them in my closet.

I wish I could wear flip flops. I trip over flat ground so I need something that stays on my foot without my help!

Slip on shoes are becoming my best friend it seems.

I was worried about the weight of them, too, but they are light as air! Really! When I took them out of the shoebox I was stunned at how light they are. I'll have to wait another month but I think I'm going to try and get them in navy blue.

Like the frog! I am making a small one all out of beads right now. I too am a froggie person. ginnie
