Okay, so here's a shoe-scoop that I received from the local good shoe store - Crocs are now being made in a MARYJANE style!!! How's that for cool (and comfy). I ordered a red pair because I just LOVE how cushy they are. Those and the good ol' Dansko clogs and my feet are in heaven.
XOXO, Libbie

I was told 2 people have those brightly colored boots too.It's a new fashion trend! Where do I look for crocs? Has anyone had foot surgery? Any advice?
Try Hallmarks or Sahlie catalog www.sahalie.com for the Crocs. I have bunions and I have been able to wear them. I use an insole for more support.
I will need to surgery too someday; I have heard that it's six weeks recovery and since I work on my feet all day, I don't see it happening anytime soon. I know someone who had it and she has been very happy with the results. |

I bought a pair of insulated waterproof hikers from LLBean several years ago and haven't regretted it. Excellent for tramping through the woods, doing outside chores,etc and my feet stay nice and toasty and dry. I have a condition that makes me very sensitive to hot and cold in my hands and feet(Reynauds syndrome) so I really try to be careful not to get the wrong winter footwear.

Randi- Crocks are rubber clogs that started out life as garden and nursing shoes but took on a life of their own once they started offering them in other colors. They are comfortable but as my guys say "Oh so goofy!" Who cares when your feet hurt? Give them a try!

Bramble -- I've been wanting Crocs all summer long and did not bite. Just spotted them in a store over by the grocer's, so I still may get 'em! Glad to hear you love them -- that's what I've heard/read from everyone. |

well bramble, if u r comfy why not eh?lol! i know i have some funny looking shoes but like i said if they are comfy who cares. i got those dawgs and they too look like something a kid would wear, but they are cool & comfy. i am in the mood today to play with some clothes i have spare drawer space since hubby took a hike, so i will have some more room to play, and arrange more comfy drawers lol! rainy day! so may as well do something fun, too old to play with cutout dolls anymore like we did when we were kids. tee hee! jo~

I have been a Clark's clog, birkenstock girl for years because I have such sensitive and extremely flat feet that I really need the extra support. Bought a pair of Crocs (do not get the imposters...)
and WOW!!! I have had happy feet all summer. I have been fielding alot of rude comments from my guys about them though... References to Minnie Mouse, no one over the age of six should wear these, and the best one: my son said if you have to pick me up at school DO NOT wear those shoes! I would rather you came barefoot!" Now these are not my first pair so I am puzzled, I have previously had green and yellow pairs, so why are the periwinkle more offensive? Maybe I'm wearing them more than when I just wore them around the yard? They have broken out of domestic servitude and I have taken my Crocs on the road!

i saw a pair of mary jane's shoes in a magazine my mil. gave me they, are soooo cool. i would love to have a pair of them. they had a strap on the top and they looked so old fashioned, and i am an old fashion girl! do any of u have a pair of those? i wonder? they were the sweetest brownish colour, almost like a mahogany shade. jo~

I have two pairs of Born mule clogs (black and brown of course!) . I'll need something for when I'm actually WORKING though, that won't slip off as easily.
They sell the Crocs at Job Lot so I'm going to check those out too. I have a pair of sneakers that I wear that I got at TJMaxx (I hate to pay full price for anything).
I get dressed up for "date night" once a week with my husband so I have my selection of heels as well.
I prefer barefoot during the warmer weather as well. TEVAs are great for summer! I have some Birks for the summer too.

Last Christmas my sister in law gave me the coolest muck boots ever!! They are from a company called "On Your Feet". They fit perfectly, and boy are they CUTE!! Pink/fuschia with roses. I just love them. They are so comfy, like they were made just for me.

I found a pair of Born Mary Janes at zappos that fit really well, except for the huge instep. My shoe repair man cut that strap, removed all the velcro and sewed on a buckle for me! Heaven for the tootsies.

Laura - Okay, I'll admit it - In addition to my standard clogs and the like, I do own one pair of the most beautiful Donald Pliner 3-1/2 inch heeled black smooth leather mules that I wear on special occasions sometimes and I DO feel pretty darn glamorous in them....
XOXO, Libbie

[font=Comic Sans MS][/font=Comic Sans MS] well jan, i really do know i like my earthshoes,, and there are alot of different styles, i never had anything as comfy, i got sandels, and even ther are comfy. i never saw all the other ones the girls are talking about?? i am game o find anything comfy for my feet, as i had an operation on my right heel too, yrs. ago and for five yrs. i had to wear shoes with no heel in the back. what a time that was. now i have more shoes then i really need, i just can't get enough shoes, after not being able to wear them for sooooo long.i did have a pair of garden shoes they call duckies here, they were great for gardens and rain, mostly spring and fall shoes. rubber type. but we went four wheeling one day and the oil run out of the bike, into my right one and i tried everthing to get that oil out of it,, but no chance, no matter what i did. they are wearable but all my socks get oiled lol! i was soooo dissapointed when that happened, as i can't seem to find another pair like them anywhere. later girls love fom jo~

I'll have to check out the Teva hiking sandals - I've been looking at some different brands recently getting ready for two hiking trips myself this summer. As for comfort, Born beats anything I've tried. I love clogs in winter and flip flops in summer. Used to go barefoot or wear socks in the house until we got our lab 3 years ago. She slurps up a mouthful of water, then walks around the wood floors with her mouth hanging open, letting it dribble everywhere. That's gross to go sliding through! |

Brenda, I haven't tried double insoles yet... I do have orthotics which I sometimes use... After reading this thread yesterday I went and bought a pair of teva sandals, which are too loose in the toe area--so my forefoot area slides, but are leather, and I plan to take them to the shoe repair man to "take up" a bit. I have had some success with his work in the past-- any errors are caused by my telling them to do too much, making the shoe too tight, but HE's great! My DH keeps suggesting I find someone who makes shoes in the old fashioned way to fit and make me a custom pair. I should go apprentice somewhere myself!

When your feet hurt, nothing else goes right! Ann, when I first got my Birkenstocks they rubbed under my ankle so I put 2 pairs of insoles in each shoe and it lifted it up enough to avoid the rubbing. Maybe you could do something similar to "fill in" the loose space in the shoes.

Brenda, thanks for the Footsmart site. I have strange feet, with very low insteps so Dansko and many other Euro-style shoes leave inches of looseness on top of my feet, and I slide in them. Now I have an entrapped nerve in one leg, and that foot is unable to lift the heel or the toes! I need support but no extreme arch, and am always looking for comfortable shoes.... and yes, I am going to the doctor July 10 for that nerve. (with great trepidation, I might add...)

I'm afraid I may be drummed out of farmgirls connection. Comfortable shoes Not this girl...4 inch heels whenever possible. Open toe shoes almost always, I live in Seattle and people think I;m nuts. If the Devil wears Prada....He is my kinda guy.(just joking). I am addicted to shoes. style over comfort for me.
