I have made a discovery that is hopefully going to really make a difference
Earth spirit shoes I tried a pair in and my god, they were so comfortable and spongy. I've ordered some cute sporty flip flops and I'm going to save for their trainers too
Seriously hoping they will help reduce my foot pain

    I looked them up - they look super comfy! Hope they help your pain - let us know! I'll have to find a store around that carries them.

    When I tried them on in the shop, I stood with one on and my trainer on the other foot. My pain was halved in the foot with the Earth spirit on!
    Just ordered some insoles following a post in my just walking thread so hoping they will make my merrells a bit easier to wear

    Sounds like something that I should check out. I've never heard of Earth Spirit before. I've always been a dyed in the wool Birkenstock or Hafflinger's gal. It's all about the slip on shoe for me. I can't have shoes that rub up against my ankles because of scar tissue from a surgery to rebuild my right ankle. It just irritates the tissue so much. So no tie on shoes please.

    I ordered flip flops, I know it's not the weather for them at the moment but I don't care lol round the house or down the shops they'll do me fine. It's nearly Spring so not long before it starts getting warmer anyway

    I'm in USA - MD. They're on Walmart's website, but I hate buying shoes online. My right foot is a full half-size larger than my left foot, so I HAVE to try shoes on before I buy. I guess I could order two sizes and just return the one(s) that don't fit....

    You could do, I tried some on in the shop and ordered online as they were cheaper

    I also like any brand that has gel insoles. Merrill shoes are good, but expensive, I can often fined them on sale at TJ Maxx. Also Hush Puppies sells a shoe called the Body Shoe which I love for work shoes. And yes, I have a pair of Earth Spirit sandals I got from Kmart.

    I'm an RN, and Birkenstock has been my favorite shoe at work. They are pricey, but worth it for me. At home I'm usually in flip flops. :smile:
