Comfortable shoes?

[quietdynamics]

I have used clip earring for shoes.
You need to check out what type of floor you are on....carpeted?, concrete/marble...ouch!
When I wore suits/ dresses to work I wore naturalizer sling back, pumps and I got them in blk, burgandy, and tan.
For really hard floors you need cushioning, clarks are good, Born are better (cost more but last forever).

With a Dx, under Americans with Disabilities, you are probably able to take breaks? But, with this weak job market I don't know if you want to go there.

I really like Merrell Encore Groove shoes.  They're very lightweight slip-ons.  They're like low clogs with a little raised part around the heel.  They last for years.  I wear med-thick socks with them and just slide them off when I'm inside.  I get the "diabetic" socks from WalMart - they're thick stretchy cottonish but have very light elastic around the ankles, so no indentations there!   They also make the clogs with fur linings.  They're like walking on clouds.

Well . . . I tried out the new shoes.  The shoes themselves are very comfortable - however, I must put a lot of pressure on my heel, as that where it bothers me.  These shoes need some more padding in that area.  I tried inserting a heel pad and that seems to help.

Prior to getting the above shoes - one day, I tried out that Dr. Scholl's test at Walmart where you stand on this pad and it evaluates what kind of shoe pad you need and it said I have more pressure on my heel.  Of course, the recommended gel sole that they sold to remedy that was something like $30!     Thanks, but no thanks.

The fact that I'm standing on a hardwood floor doesn't help matters.   

I did ask the owner again last week if there was any way we could get an anti-fatigue mat to put where we stand.  I told her that standing on the hardwood floor was making my hip hurt.  We'll see what, if anything, will be done.

I wear nylons or knee-highs to work, so a thick sock wouldn't help me - although, does sound comfy.   

I tried slipping on some clip-on earrings to my shoes from some costume jewelry I have - I could feel the clip part and it bugged me.   

Thanks for all the suggestions and I'll keep my eyes peeled for the perfect shoe.

Look up Klogs online.  They are the most comfortable I've found and come in wide width which helps.

I also need full orthotics Do you have a store called Foot Solutions anywhere near? They are very helpful finding shoes, If willing to spend the $, I have found you can get a comfortable pair,although it took trying on alot of shoes!!! They will work with you and order different ones for you to try.
Good luck!

Robinbat - I checked Foot Solutions online - unfortunately, the closest one to me is three hours away.     It did sound interesting though.

Seaturtle - I looked up Klogs too . . . they look comfortable, but I'm looking for something a little more "dressy" and something that doesn't have an open toe, or open back.  I know, picky, picky, picky.   

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
