    Hi Merri,
    This topic crops up a lot, if you go to the search button at the top of the page you can type in shoes and a whole lot of advice and recommendations will come up.

    I hope you get sorted soon.

    I am a great believer in h*tter shoes...sigh....lovely and comfy, but not cheap I'm afraid.

    Love

    This probably isn't what you meant, Merry :roll: but, assuming that the surgical shoes that I've been unable to do without for the last 40 odd years, get stuff right, shoes need to support your feet feel, especially the arches and need to hold the foot securely and not let it slop around. Laces are best for this but velcro is next best.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Saw a pair in paper today were like closed in beach mules but completely made of elasticated wider strips so very comfortable looking?

    Sketchers Shape Ups are the only shoe I can wear at the moment.
