Wish I could wear sandals. I used to.

The strap isn't tight on me MrsD, but then I've got chicken legs and feet...I had to get used to the floppiness of it. It's so hard to find the magic shoe, my black suede top crocs are still my favorite shoes, too enclosed for summer. I'll take slimmer crocs any day over any other shoe, I bought some fleece lined ones on closeout this spring. They are ugly but I'm not in it for the fashion statement anymore. I really, really miss wearing tennis shoes, it's been five years without them now and I lived in my tennies!
It's all trial and error with the feet!

Oh Kitt! I'm so sorry, I miss tennis shoes, this darn PN

I am bumping this up....because I just bought a nice pair of slip on sandals at Famous Footwear.

Dr. Scholl's memory foam called Breakaway. They were in the men's department, because the selections in Women's were slim.

So I found a pair of New Balance athletic shoes, and the second pair is 1/2 off. The sandals are normally 34.99 on sale for 29.99 and I got them 1/2 off of that. So for $15 they are a deal.
Really comfortable! But they are black...no other colors.

They run a little large....normally I wear a 8.5 or 9 in men's, but these are an 8 medium. They are adjustable with velcro too.

I wish oh how I wish I could wear shoes! I have to wear them to walk but taken them off as soon as I'm where I walking to, the other room or where ever. The thing that's the worst is Sunday shoes. Everyone in my church wears nice sunday dress and I'm in big old clunkers. I can't wear sandal's either. To hard to slip on and off with the straps or they have no arch supports. I have really high arches and hammer toes because of PN. They call it "Pes Cavus", the POD does but really it's PN doing it thing.
I've spent hundreds. For work I wear 6E NB walking shoes that are way to big for me. I can't stand anything touching the top of my feet. I look so funny in them. LOL I have a pair of crocks that are way big and I wear them some but the arch isn't high enough.

Two days ago my wife stopped to talk to someone and I finally had to sit down and take my shoes off with ppl all around. Unfortunately I was steaming at her for doing it but of course that's not fair at all. I have a hard time doing what I know I must do. I could have said please excuse me I'm going to get the car and walk off but I didn’t. If my arches weren’t so high it would make life so much easier.

I have a pair of Earth shoes.. they are "vegan".. which I didn't really care about, but hey, good for the environment.

The reason I got them was cause they were on sale, and because they have a great arch support.
Although I don't have CMT high arches (which is way higher than average), I do have high arches, and it literally hurts if I don't have some support.

Even my flip-flops have arch support.
I got a pair for $20 at AE.. its hard to walk in them though, as I'm not so sturdy in the feet/ankles.

They are nice to slip on and take the dog out though.

I wish there was a kind women could get- I wear a 9 W women's so I don't know what that is in Men's...

I wear a 10 W women's.

In shoes I have to get a 9.0 or 9.5 in men's.
But these were 8 M in men's.
I have worn one shoe long ago that was an 8 M men's.
I wear a 42 euro.

Shoe contours are called "lasts". Some run large, some small.

The salesgirl at the store said that the men's Medium is wider than the Women's W as a rule.
Sometimes Famous Footwear has a lot of selection in 10 W for me in the women's section. Yesterday it was dismal...forcing me to the Men's. The men's shoes seem to be a little bit higher, have thicker softer tongues, and provide more support, in general. With Unisex these days, many styles look very much alike. I prefer nylon uppers over leather, because the leather can be too stiff and push down on the top of the balls of my feet when flexing and walking and aggravate the sesamoids over time. The nylon is cooler wearing. I removed the insert they came with and put in a Doctor Scholl's gel insert...that was much much better too.

I had to try on alot of shoes...it wore me out, and the squeezing worked up the pain levels in my feet all day. But I am happy with what I finally found.

I might have to try a pair of these... I am sick of having to wear fleece slippers in the summer- or my sneakers (which I love, but are still hot- esp. with socks on) so these sandals might be good to try around the house in place of the slippers at least.

I saw several men's slip ons with the new cushiony memory foam.

The only drawback is that if you have socks on, they slide on the
fabric that covers the foam. Sometimes (rarely) I wear socks with sandals.

With bare feet, that slippage doesn't happen. I asked the salesgirl if she knew how long the soles last...I wondered if the fabric gives out, and frays. And she had no answer for me.
For what I finally paid...it doesn't really matter. All my slip ons that I already have --none of them have fabric on the soles. So this will be a new thing to evaluate.
