I started to order shoes from that site. I had 3 different styles in my cart but then I needed to re-start my computer. This reminds me I need to go back and order them. I am glad there are free returns. Leslie I am thinking of ordering these: http://www.planetshoes.com/item/eart...-bed/25499/fn8 and these: http://www.planetshoes.com/item/eart...ylor/25514/fd0 They are very reasonably priced too. ETA: Just ordered all three styles! I have to stay away from this forum! |

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These are the best shoes I purchased during this Century. In the winter I was wearing Birkie insoles, primarily in Clarks, which I also swore by. Go figure. And they come in Narrow and Wide widths. You will never, ever look back. Read about the love-fest on Amazon. |

Birki lovefest
Quote:
Seriously though...how can it be possible to walk in shoes that cram your feet in to a shape that is clearly not shaped like your foot. And why did it take me so long to figure this out <v8slap> No matter...my feet are happy now and I think they are cute. Love doesn't describe it. Later I managed to snatch another butterfly pair in magenta on clearance. Last year I got a pair that have a gladiator look on the upper in a cute metalic hammered black. And then a soft bed sandal in bronze that I wear walking at the near by Nat'l Park. Walking for MILES at a time. No blisters, very little foot fatigue. And get this...less lower leg/ankle fatigue too. I didn't even know that kind of fatigue could be avoided. Corns are nearly gone, and no more thick calluses on the bottom of my forefeet. Between my Birki's and my yogitoes my feet are recovering their original shape [no more painful inflammed bunions...gone] & my toes have much better, more natural spacing. I have four pair plus black pattened leather clogs I used to wear to work. Haven't bought new shoes since. The only wear on those original butterfly sandals after nearly four years is a bit on the soles but they can be resoled. I don't have any thong style yet, but they are next, when the budget allows. They travel great, soo light weight and take up very little space. These have taken me alll over downtown San Diego, all over the Zoo...twice, Balboa park, up and down Sunset Highway, multiple boardwalks. To keep this fitness related...now that my feet have improved I can jump, dance, and do planks without chronic foot pain. Ok...I'll stop but you get the picture. Anyway...I hope you find something that is comfortable & suitable to you As said in another post recently, bugger the rest.
