Members shared their go-to shoe brands for managing painful feet, with Skechers emerging as the overwhelming favorite for its comfort and arch support, followed by Easy Spirit for those needing narrow or wide widths. Several members described practical adjustments they've made, including switching to sneakers or sandals due to edema, avoiding toe straps because of arthritis, using orthotic inserts, and relying on Doc Martens for long-lasting support and alignment. A recurring theme was the bittersweet farewell to high heels, with members passing on their collections to younger relatives while finding relief and freedom in prioritizing comfort and foot health over style.

I wear Easy Spirit because I have a 6 Narrow foot. I have to buy my shoes online because no one sells them that small here. Their Romy walking shoes fit me very well and they seem to last a long time.

For me, I live in Sketchers sneakers and their casual shoe line. My favorite pair are black running shoes, lots of cushion.

I only wear doc martens, have for years. Very good for support and aligment, my podiatrist was very surpised at how good my alignment was with all things considered and she told me to continue wearing these shoes. They're great quality and last for years whereas all other shoes are worn out within a few months with me.
and they look great👍

I wear Sketches as well. I gave my granddaughters and nieces access to my closet and they left with bags 🎒 of high-heeled shoes. I don't miss them at all. Looking back, it was foolish walking around in those things because they destroy the back and ankles.
