Comfortable shoes and trainers

The minute I posted just above, the whole of the advert section to the right of our posts turned into shoe ads......

I'm well sorted with Skechers and Hotter but hubby is a major problem. He has very deep feet/high instep and a wardrobe full of expensive shoes that hurt him. He easily develops corns, broken nails, squashed little toes, sore spots. To alleviate the pain he choses a size bigger than he really measures but that creates its own problems.

I know this is a bit off the original post but does anyone have any suggestions for him - mainly for everyday shoes/trainers and even slippers.

I suffered terribly with PF after standing on my feet for 10 hours a day 5 days a week at work. I was in such agony I didn't know what to do with myself. I've always been a shoe person, liked stylish shoes etc, but I was willing to wear just about anything on my feet if it would take the pain away, I was desperate. I had to work yet couldn't stand for more than 5 minutes for excruciating pain.

After a try of several types of shoes, I stumbled across skechers.. this was 10 years ago. It was like the lord himself had come down and healed my feet overnight. I was walking on a cloud.
Skechers are not cheap, so you do have to be careful you're getting the right type for your feet. I found the GoGa Mat style was the most comfortable for me and the one that took the pain away the most. All these years later , Go Walk have replaced GoGa Mat. I own 12 pairs of various styles and colours of skechers now. .. as well as a few other brands. The only other trainers that are almost as comfortable for me are Adidas.

Has your husband tried Fitville for trainers Madmeg? They come in wide fit and have deep toe boxes, and are designed for sensitive feet. I have a diabetic male friend who wears them, recommended by the podiatrist, so I think they must be good.

My DH had some lovely expensive shoes from Charles Clinkard who take a lot of trouble with fitting but latterly found them too heavy and wore Hotters- Velcro fastening for everyday and classic blacks when wearing a suit.

Can anyone advise on size wise for FitFlops.

Do they tend to be on the larger/smaller size.

I do wear sketchers trainers/walkers or Nike for work.

I have OA in my feet and probably ankles, for me Skechers or Crocs are only ok for short distances but Merrell are my go to for proper walking shoes and boots.

Hi 👋 I've recently discovered Barefoot Shoes by Hike UK and they're absolutely wonderful, so comfortable

I like Sketchers too, but may I also recommend Archies! I wear their flipflops, but they also have slides and inlays. The secret is the arch-support (hence the nale Archies). They are developed by fysiotherapists and really you can believe what they tell you, they offer perfect support!

Vionic are good and so are Alegria. Definitely worth having a look.

Madmeg Ecco Terracruise are the ones that have given my husband's difficult feet the comfort and support they needed.
There are several styles in the same/similar cut.

Like your husband he has at least a dozen pairs. He had had professional help with orthotic insoles etc but can just wear the Terracruise without.

I read an article by someone who was talking about their difficulties and persuaded him to try them.

He's had them for maybe six months now - and they are on his feet most days. In fact only yesterday he said "I haven't worn my x and y shoes since you bullied me into these!"🤔

He doesn't wear them inside though - so not all day.

You can get "last seasons style/colour" at about half price. New ones are £100 plus.

Good luck.

I dont have any foot problems other than they are shallow. After a couple of wears I just walk out of Skechers, no support and feet spread everywhere. Had two pairs in effort to have easy footwear but no more.

Although you already have received a lot of suggestions.I would add what I have been wearing practically every day are shoes that are the most comfortable.I have ever worn.
They are Pavers Memory Foam which are in different colours. At first they can feel tight but still comfortable, now they have adjusted to the size of my feet and one can just slip them on.

Rieker for me as well and my husband. Mr Soda has problem feet and finds Rieker shoes the most comfortable he has ever worn.
I like Birkenstock for sandals and shoes. I have some Skecher slip ins but they make my feet look huge.

I have found Fitflop to be quite roomy. Go down a half size, rather than up, bikergran.
