Please, I need more help with shoes

Sorry to bring this up again, but I am at a loss. I desperately wanted the Dansko shoes to work for me, but with my narrow heel, it isn't going to happen. I have to have a backed shoe for school. I tried the Dansco Professional and found that if the length fits they are falling off at the heel, and if they are the correct width my toes are smashed against the front of the shoe (well, one of them anyway, one foot is 1/2 size larger than the other). The lady at the store said all of the backed Danscos would fit the same.

I really need a shoe to protect my back, shoulders, alignment, etc so an athletic shoe won't be enough support for me. I really need a shoe like Dansco. Price is really a low consideration at this point, since I'll be wearing them over a long period of time -- it's an investment.

Please, if anyone can lead me in the right direction to a good shoe, I'd really appreciate it! I need them by Monday. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, hehe. ;)

I love my Dansko's. I'm going the outlet to get another pair in a couple of weeks. I, too, have narrow feet, and what they others said applies for me too--they don't 'fit' at the heel. They're loose. The salesperson said that's how they should fit.

I have some Easy Spirits that I loved until I tried on some Klogs. Since you have to have a closed back shoe, maybe try Easy Spirits? My mom (also a nurse) loves them too.

Hmmm, I don't know why I thought that about athletic shoes, but I am with you on loving New Balance. They are the shoes I wear all the time, and I adore them. Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to check them out this afternoon when I go shopping.
