Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / October 2006OTP - Comfy shoes
I don't remember who first mentioned sierratradingpost.com on here, but it was someone who posted about Birkenstocks. I ordered those and wore them all summer :) Now that it's fall, I ordered a pair of Acorn Big Easy's from the same website. They came yesterday and they are SO comfy. They are listed as slippers but when you get them, they have soles on them and it says on the tag that they are for casual wear. The tops are leather and so soft. This is like walking on air! I'm going to be wearing these things all over the place. They are the best. Carole who hates when her feet hurt! :) i use my betula birkies for summer slippers. wearing them now, because i have to replace my shearling winter slippers. have to wear my new balance shoes most of the time though--my rd's and surgeon's orders, so i don't fall so much :-((( kate I don't remember who first mentioned sierratradingpost.com on here, but it was someone who posted about Birkenstocks.

They were so uncomfortable on my feet. They were not wide enough for me and I couldn't find them in wide widths. Now that I'm older, I'm too lazy to tie shoelaces, so I like slip ons :))) Carole > I had New Balance sneakers once...I sent them off to Salvation Army. > They were so uncomfortable on my feet.

I've had no trouble finding New Balance in wide widths though. The last pair I even bought at Famous Footwear, not a specific athletic shoe place. My picky feet insist on wide width, SL-2 last (for high arches) NBs. I keep wishing they'd show up in Sierra Trading Post more, but so few models are made on the SL-2 last that they never seem to make the closeout list. But there are plenty of other good athletic shoes out there to choose from.

I thought they'd stretch out after a few wearings but they didn't. And now I have a problem bending over to tie shoes, so I just stick to slip ons. Nice and easy :)) Yea, I know, I'm getting OLD, LOL :))) Carole Nann Bell wrote: > That's a shame, but I guess everyone's feet are different.

My mom calls our type of feet "good German walking feet" so I guess it's appropriate that they like good German shoes!

My problem with them is not enough arch support. Seems to me that Duckie's the same way.
