recs for hurting feet?

[MisStarrlight]

I just found the best shoes ever! They're cute & totally comfy like sneakers...

They come in a buncha different styles (with various rhinestones & glitter, mesh, lace, etc...even a pair with cut little coy fish!), but these are the ones that I bought yesterday. I wore them for my entire shift & no hurting at all (not even at the heel or arch where even flats start to hurt). I think I have a new favorite brand of shoe...ok, I've worn sketchers on & off since middle school, but I'm just now realizing how amazing they are. Once I get some more $ I'm going to go back & try some of their dressy ones.

And the fact that they're cheap it definitely a plus.

Some stricter stores may not allow them because the soles look kinda sporty, but no one said anything to me today and my manager is very by-the-book.

Sorry you can't wear toes out, but for anyone who can -
I have these and they are a miracle. I forget I'm wearing them. I have gone for 8 hours standing in these.

The designers, twin brothers Shane & Shawn Ward have industrial design degrees and one worked at Adidas. Their company is called DETNY (Detroit, NY). Available at Zappos.com, Shoes.com and Shoemall.com. They make some funky boots and darling flats too.

Even if you're not interested in the shoes, LADIES please have a gander at these two by clicking on the link above. My, my, my!

ballroom dancing shoes (or, for those who can wear crazy shoes/really high heels to work) stripper shoes.

good ballroom dancing shoes (and stripper shoes) are usually lined in suede and are quite padded on the sole. they are SUPER comfy because they are made to be danced in, and you can get them in a range of styles (well, at least in the ballroom dancing type you can

) ballroom shoes also tend to be available in several widths, as they need to fit well.

the only downside to these types of shoes is that they are quite expensive.

For anyone considering wedges, *do not* wear ones with a *wooden* platform. Those are going to make you scream as you're walking towards the eyeshadow display, I promise.

I so totally, 100% agree...stay away from the wooden ones...you will be hating life...

Try Dansko, chefs, nurses wear them, they are somewhat cute depending on the style and they have great arch and heel support, expensive, but SO worth the $$. I've worn mine for 2 years 5 days a week and they do look to have some wear, but after 2 years what can I expect. They have saved my feet while everyone else is complaining.

^I was gonna say that too. I'm looking into getting a pair of Danskos, most of the girls at work wear them and have no complaints.

These are the exact shoes I have. They are amazing. I just painted the little grey on the soles black and so they fit the 'all black' description more. I have high arches and have learned the price doesn't matter it's the support and structure that makes a difference. I walk to and from work and stand all day. I love them. (and Im not necessarily a scetchers fan)

Also get a peppermint lotion to rub your legs and feet with when you get home. It will stimulate circulation.

I just got these babies for work in black! They're not here yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to having something more comfortable...I've tried every insole, every arch support, etc- and my feet/ankles are still killing me. Damn rheumatoid arthritis, damn fibromyalgia, damn damn damn!

I don't know about any shoes but if you get a foot bath from wal mart or somewhere, you can put warm water in it and epsom salts. It really works for tired, aching feet.

When I worked at Clinique Danskos were the way to go. Standing all day is semi-torture!
