I order six or more pair at a time from Zappos and return those that don't fit. I can't wear heels higher than 1.5 inches and they have to have comfort soles. It is a real chore for me to find shoes, and I have to stand all day as well! I got some winter boots by Timberland that fit well and took me forever to find. I highly recommend Zappos because they have free shipping both ways and great customer service.

Some of them are pretty heavy and sturdy! But they have some styles that are not quite so heavy. They definitely take some getting used to and my feet loved them once they adjusted to them. Then this past fall/winter they made my feet hurt even more - bizarre! Makes me made because they are so expensive!!

I swear, if I end up in a wheel chair, I am going to wear some killer shoes & heels!

You've got the right idea, not hoping you end up in a wheelchair.

I loved shoes. I had some great ones. Sometimes I "visit" them. I'm in a chair but I transfer so heels are out! If I we going out, I might wear one when in the chair, flats for the travel and transfer.

Since shoes are out, I indulge my self with neat slippers (silk and velvet and neat) and silk scarves. Don't smoke, don't drink, what can I do?

I love shoes! I miss wearing all the pretty shoes. I mostly wear flip flops and slippers now. On my good days, I can get away with wedges. They are more stable than heels. I have a few pair of wedges and love them but only where them when I am stable on my feet and am going somewhere.
