Re: Flat Feet
Christinad--
I don't think flip-flops are all inherently bad. For instance, while I purchased a pair of Teva Mush's this year (a conventional flop, not a lot of support) I also got Ventura Thong from Teva. Cork styled footbed, nice arch, great look!
Also, my absolute favorite pair of thongs is Spring Step Ibiza. For me, it supports my arch even a bit more than my Birks! Killer shoe. I think Naot introduced a copycat this year, too.
As for the heels, have you any without super pointy toes and stilletos? If so, then I don't think the news is all bad, LOL...
You have a professional job, so I guess the heels are a must? I mean, at our store, I like to point out to people the obvious: what you wear for the bulk of your day should be comfy (that may not equate to super-stylish)--at the same time, these aren't the shoes you've got to wear when you go out, when you have fun.
Glad to hear you purchased the inserts for the running shoes. Please say you trail run? Macadam, as in thru town, can do REAL damage to you. Hope you have NB trail runners? LOL... I like to give my unsolicited opinions
I'm just happy to see an active shoe forum. I wandered around about.com for awhile, and their forum was on life support!
