le shoes hot

(continued from last post.) at any rate, i am totally disgusted with Aerosoles these days and will not wear them again unless they manage to produce a good shoe with an excellent spongy, supportive heel bed. my Earth shoes, which i've always loved, seem to possibly not have enough heel support so they may be a thing of the past.

this condition prefers you not wear shoes lacking a back (like slides), but my Haflinger's have such excellent support i wear them when i want to and just be careful not to turn/twist my foot. and as it turns out, i found a new, very comfortable, fairly unique pair of spongy shoes which fit my feet beautifully and are a joy to wear. yes, they don't have a back, but i feel the benefits outweigh the risks.

i found them at one of my favorite shoe websites -- planetshoes.com -- and they're a brand i hadn't heard of: Mion. even though they look funky and are incredibly comfortable, i think the thing i like the most about them is that the company is so earth-friendly/environmentally-aware. it's impressive to read about their philosophy and i will be looking for additional styles from them. i urge you to check them out and support them.

    You should try merrels or Keens.

    Thats what all the nurses wear when they have to stand for 12hours

    and your feet don't hurt!
