I like Ryka shoes. They are made for women by women. At least that is what the ads say. I have about six pairs of their tennis shoes. They are the only shoe that doesn't cramp my toes.

thanks for the idea of sketchers and they came out this spring with some really cute ones

I bought two pair of Sketchers with memory foam and I love them. What ever you choose, I was told to look for shoes with a wide toe box.

Crocks are great. Birkenstocks as well. I have hammertoe on both feet so i have to keep my toe area clear or soft. Check out Soft Moc or Naturalizer stores. They are not all "old lady" shoes anymore!!

I am living in crocs at the moment, I wear them as slippers too. I am suffering with heel Spurs and plantar fasciitis, this has been the most debilitating condition I have had, it's been going on over 12 months, if I keep crocs on then it calms down slightly but I dare not try another shoe as it flares back up immediately
