I wear Ryka tennis shoes. They are specifically designed for the female foot. I love them. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Lady Footlocker sells them.

I rarely have problems with my Reeboks. I have a hard enough time finding size 4 1/2's

I also suffer from plantar fasciitis (and need to lose more weight). The one shoe that relieved my pain and the only shoe I can be in for long periods on my feet is the dansko clog. The come with and without closed backs. I found out about them upon visiting a pedorthotist, which is a guy who specializes in fitting shoes. He explained that I needed the stiffness but also absorption. The clogs have a dense rubber bottom without much give. Anyway, you can get them cheaper at the outlet: www.danskooutlet.com

Crocs are AMAZING! But avoid the vented type for the hospital - any questions why, see the "grossest story" posting.

Also, a more expensive choice, but one also worth the investment is a pair of Danskos. They run about $100 a pair, but will last forever.

THORLO SOCKS!!!!

Put those on before anything else! They are expensive, I know - but I've had several of my pair for 4 years - and my feet thank me everyday. Worth the investment and you can shop around online or sales. They are the best sock around and make almost any kind of shoe feel better -

Crocs

They are so light & cushiony, just wonderful. I love my pair. Just found them for only $30 at a bike shop. I'll never wear any other shoes to work again.

I just bought some Danscos and work pretty well if I can sit down once in awhile. But when there days where you don't get to sit at all, they do start hurting. So I thought of trying what you have mentioned. Someone on the board suggested it is a good idea to get 2 pairs of shoes and change off.

I had trouble with heel spurs - similar symptoms. I paid a couple hundred $$ for custom orthotics. Helped me. No more problems. My dh did too, but had better luck with Z-coil shoes (zcoil.com) Crazy looking, but just the ticket for many health care workers in this area.

The only shoes I put on my feet for work are New Balance. My feet thank me every 12 hour shift that runs in to 13...and then 14 hours!

Silly question, but what does "dh" mean?
