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

I've tried many different shoes for my burning soles, and they all start to aggravate the pain after a while. I've had the best luck with Birkenstocks, with or without socks. The wide toe is key for me, and I don't seem to get as much friction from the insole. The open back with the clogs keeps the feet from getting overheated. This may be obvious--and not always practical--but the best luck I've had is to wear shoes that slip off easily and get my feet out of them as often as I can. Also, for me changing shoes several times during the day is helpful.

Dr. Comfort work shoes for men has a wide/roomy toe box and is comfortable. A person I know has them.

I have high arches which creates extra pressure on the heel and the metatarsal area (ball of the foot). I have custom soft orthotics that are made from cast molds. My orthotist first has me step into a box of very soft foamy material, which he creates the mold from. Luckily, my insurance pays for a new set of these orthotics every year. Otherwise, the cost would be typically around $400.
My actual foot size is 11 1/2 D, but the shoes I buy are 13 6E. The shoes I finally settled on after extensive trial on error, are training shoes manufactured by New Balance. The current NB model number is the 857. http://www.newbalance.com/pd/new-bal...hite_with_Navy They come black or white. Best of luck in your search...

The elastic shoe laces are wonderful, I agree! I use the curly ones which I believe are for kids. ( I get mine at Famous Footwear) If you lace them right you can can just slip into the
shoes and not need to tie them even! There is an alternate lacing pattern too, that helps reduce compression on that instep...every other eyehole in the shoe. I use that too. http://www.northcoastfootcare.com/pa...echniques.html
