Re: Best shoes ever?
Nursemates KILLED my feet.
It might be the way I walk, or the fact that I'm overweight (most likely a combo of the two), but all of the stiff shoes that people rave about (nursemates, danskos, etc) are terrible on my feet. I spent a ton of money on a pair of each, and both hurt my feet within 10 minutes of putting them on, even after trying different sizes and allowing weeks to "break in".
I need/prefer something with good cushioning. I don't like sneakers because of the way they rub...I flex my feet a lot when I walk. I have the best luck with Crocs...brand name only, no knockoffs. I like the Specialist type...no ugly holes on top, and they come in true white. They have better arch support than the "beach" type Crocs and are not obnoxious looking. They have a good heel strap and are slightly thicker to protect your metatarsals.
I found mine for 23 bucks and it was the best 23 bucks I've spent in a long time.
