Related: About this forumI need your assistance. Some friends mentioned a brand of shoe that is real comfortable,
about $80 pair. It was a 2-syllable name, I remember that. Something like Randall. Can anyone identify this brand?

(18,179 posts)Clark. I have many pairs. Not one is uncomfortable. Reasonable prices,too.
Gym shoes, Sketchers. You can even get those that look dressy.

I love shoes and they have replaced the other name brands for me. I once worked across the aisle from a shoe department. Bad mistake for me.

(30,214 posts)I found out that about 10 years ago they were going to stop making my favorite shoe (of which I already owned about 4 pairs). They are the only ones that I've found that fit my short wide feet. When I heard they were going to stop making my shoe (boat shoe)... I bought another 5 pairs... I have 2 left in a boxes unopened.

(9,605 posts)Footsmart.com is a great place to find comfortable shoes that support your arches, and look fairly stylish. Good brands that last a long time. I'm still wearing a pair of "flip flops" that I bought 5 years ago. Pricey, but worth it.

And the Soft Footbed models are comfy right out of the box. People with neuropathy (agonizing pain), knee surgeries, foot problems, sore backs - all are helped by Birkenstocks. I am amazed at how good I feel now. I've only been a Birki wearer for a month but I've never been happier!
On one shoe selling website, they have 1000's of reviews. When reading up on Birkenstocks, the reviewers were always asked what other brands they recommend: their answer was frequently Teva and Clarks (90%, of the time).
Good luck on your comfort search!

At this point, they are the only shoes I can wear.

(10,354 posts)have non-slip soles, solid top (no holes, like Crocs) and something I could walk around in all day long. They have the greatest foot support I've ever worn. Working part time, I wore that pair of shoes for about 5 years and, when I retired, they were my daily around-the-farm footwear. Then, my cat, Lola, peed in them and I had to throw them away. Nothing I tried could rid those shoes of the smell of cat pee. I still mourn for those shoes every day. Merrell doesn't make that model now and though I have bought the one that replaced it, it is not quite as perfect as the original pair.

(7,933 posts)Merrill sandals the night before I left and wore them, walking miles and miles every day, with nary a blister. Since they do change styles, when I got back, I went on ebay and found 2 pairs of the very same shoe for less than I paid originally. I wear them almost every day in the summer. Love them.

(30,185 posts)pair of shoes. They are a bit pricey (which is why I don't have mine right now) but they fit your foot (one foot is larger than the other, you know,) never need to be tied again (somehow) and they are made to be worn daily. @WearAtoms on twitter and I'm sure they have a website.

I can get one pair of shoes each year (but get ta pair about every three years) by prescription from my podiatrist
from a place that supplies orthotic & prosthetic equipment.

(24,145 posts)Must have good support. I've found the only thing that really works are good orthotics. In any shoe.

I have some neuropathy, no pain.. thus my pool exercises. Most Insurance companies pay for silvr Sneakers, a real blessing.

klook
(12,897 posts)sells shoes for men & women that are really comfortable. They specialize in wide sizes that are hard to find elsewhere. They sell shoes under their own moniker, as well as Skechers, New Balance (which Ive been boycotting since I found out their CEO is a Trump supporter), Hush Puppies, Dunham, Propet, Easy B, Rockport, Nunn Bush, Drew, et al.
All their business is mail order. As a new customer, youll be asked to fill out a questionnaire including the outlines of your feet. In 20+ years of buying from them, Ive had to return maybe 2 pairs.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
