Just got feet, don't got SHOES

i sent the blue ones back -- they were really heavy and i was feeling repulsed by them and my legs/feet every time i put them on. not a good sign, so i said adios.

Gross, man. Do you want more shoes to replace them with or are you annoyed and done with shoes for the nonce?

no i got the other sandals i posted -- i like them! they're comfortable and make me feel very moderately foxy. they're not going to be walk-everywhere shoes but i can wear them/stand on them for hours without stressing about it.

i like those hi tops too btw -- they're narrow and different, not too clunky

I think those cork platform ones are great! I also think that multi-strappy shoes is one of the places where quality matters--if they're poorly made, every one of those straps is a blister factory waiting to happen. But on good ones they'll be softer and have more well-finished edges and so on.

I'm into walkability right now, lol @ me. I've found that walking about 2m a day to and from work doesn't exacerbate my foot problems at all, in fact I feel great! But standing on the subway for even 20 mins is just as punishing as ever. So I can walk but not stand. Also maybe the subway is evil? jk jk jk

i bought the most super comfortable "womens walking shoes" from DSW, a brand called Rykä. like walking on pillows, i love them! i dont like white sneakers normally but fuckit, i'm past caring tbh

Those dorky Spenco slides I impulse bought are amazing. I feel more comfortable with a little more foot coverage for going outside but they are proving to be phenomenal house shoes.

Vionic makes fab sandals for problem feet but I hate all of their available styles.

God yes they're all terrible. Maybe I don't hate one or two styles but for $80 you have to do better than "I guess I don't hate them."

The leopard print ankle boots now....

VG, the worishofers I got have a buckle across the toes which is great for my wide feet.

I bought a pair of white salt water sandals (recommended here I think) and I'm in love with them.

I broke out my salt waters for the first time yesterday! :D I think I want them in white.

They are super cute in white! So good with jeans.

I want a bunch of colors now.

Yeah - they're kind of addictive. I have tan and red and absolutely want more.

I also didn't realize they're kinda of adjustable when I first got them, they were really tight! Now they fit like a dream.

my worishofers arrived & they are v comfy!!

Found these for half price the other day - even if they just last one summer I'm okay with that. Fun and practical shoes for baby's first summer (slip ons make life easier).

They had ones with a whole bunch of leopards printed on them but they weren't in my size even though they looked online too, sigh

These too, also no more in my size. They're just limited edition I guess :/

Can't believe I'm wearing Vans again #90sTeen

I saw the dog version of those!

Maybe I should go to the Vans outlet, hmmm.

I tried on Worishofers because the price was really reasonable--$70 or 80? But they didn't suit me, the proportions were off somehow. Bought Camper flatforms instead lol

new silver salt waters!

My feet had been sore & horrible for the last year - I had big swollen lumps on top of my feet & it hurt to wear any kind of flat shoe...& i think i am finally, FINALLY getting back to normal

My nerdy Rykä comfy walking shoes made a huge difference, since I walk twice a day at work - cannot recommend them enough over regular sneakers

And i bought a pair of birkenstocks. I know they're kinda ugly & whatever but omg, game changer. I had sworn off them bcz the last pair I had never fit right & just made my feet aaaache. But I got properly fitted at the shoe store & have been dedicatedly breaking them in every day and now they are really comfortable.

It is the best thing in the world not having to think about how much my feet hurt, and if it means wearing ugly shoes from now on well fuck it, I'm IN

My shoe philosophy in an ugly, orthopedic nutshell. I'm glad your feet are better! Foot pain makes everything else suck a little bit more.

tooootally

I booked my first ever podiatrist appointment to take care of an ingrown toenail and I have to bring my normal shoes in, presumably for the chiropodist to yell at me about. :/ stupid cute round toe flats! I foresee a future of box toes and Birkenstocks just around the bend.

they usually don't yell

and if they do, kick them in the nuts & yell YOU ARE NOT MY REAL DAD & leave

looool

I got that pair of black and white sandals I posted about from Marmi, and I bought some black Camper flatforms and some Payless sneaks and I am off to the races all summer long basically.

I had to try on a bunch of difft sandals to find ones with the right shape of arch to support my feet tho, it wasn't easy to say No to all those other cute ones that wanted me to take them home.

I love my Birkenstocks and I don't care.

My boss said "oh I heard they make your feet spread out and get big" so what?? They make my feet feel less bad.

I bought sneakers at the Vans outlet because they were a Alice in Wonderland Liberty print.

!

Damn right you did.

My mom still attributes my current foot problems to my having worn Birkenstocks for most of the 90s because in doing so, I let my feet spread out and didn't get them accustomed to uncomfortable shoes such that wearing non-Birenstocks caused bunions and plantar fasciitis whereas if I had toughened up my feet by wearing high heels starting at age 16, I wouldn't have such problems now.

I'm sure that makes sense to her.

I clarified with the chiropodist about whether feet get bigger as we age (because I have a fear of sizing out of already hard to find 11s) and he said no, they just get wider. So Birkenstocks be damned, biology would've got you there anyway!

These shoes are so insanely comfortable, I've never had foot support like this in my life! Although the second day of breaking them in was akin to having strapped granite rocks to my feet. But they are better today and my toe is healing! It's going to be a year until I have a full, proper toe though :( Took out a good 1/4 of my toe which seemed excessive but it was a bad ingrown nail so good riddance.

My feet have definitely gotten bigger over the years. I'm sure standing on my feet all day doesn't help.

Yeah I wore a 10 as recently as 2007. Now I'm an 11, sometimes 11W, depending on the shoe.

omg

mr veg will be so happy

I'm excited!

Where is the intersection of sublime comfort and stylish style? I want really nice cushy athletic-style walking/standing arch support cushion pillow supreme but I also wanna look fly.

Where do I turn?

like right now I have some Onitsuka Tigers and I went to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor last night and their sets are like 2 hours and halfway thru the show I had this epiphany of like "oh my god, I can't, I am too old for this shit, I need great shoes, I need them so bad"

I like those Sketchers with memory foam insoles. I don't know about the stylish part but they are v. comfortable.

yeah i got a discount pair of skechers "gogamat" loafers & they're p nice

i will never say that name out loud though, jfc

negative on the style scale, for sure

Stevie what abt old school Sauconys? jazz has dece support but still kinda retro

I don't I feel like if stylish poster 龜 is willing to wear hospital core sneakers, Stevie you could make a pair of these work.
