i try and have a couple pairs of shoes that fit a bit different so as to cycle through them. that way it tends to prevent sores, because they all rub a bit but they all rub a bit different. another trick is to really keep a close eye on your feet... so when the rub is small (or just starting to feel a bit sore) putting a band aid on it can prevent a sore. i went through maybe 4 boxes of band aids wearing in my doc martin boots.
i was going to suggest skate shoes. but that is because i find them comfortable because i have wide feet and collapsed arches...
i think yeah if you have high arches you might want ones with good arch support. maybe running shoes or something like that.
we have an athletic shoe shop where they measure your feet and stuff and get you something to fit your feet. don't know if you guys have the chain... the problem with that IMO is that the ones that were 'perfect' for me were all ugly so i couldn't bring myself to get any of them...
insoles can be terrific. i was supposed to get some orthotic ones but i never got in to pick them up... i should have because they are really expensive... but oh well... too late now.
summer is coming...
black jandals are pretty cool :-)
(but they also come in orange and yellow and pink...)
