I am shopping for some comfortable shoes to work in. My feet and legs are hurting me SO BADLY; I don't remember my feet hurting this much before! But then......I was taking pain killers before and during my shift. I don't know what made me believe that I could work this time around without the Advil!!! LOL LOL LOL
I bought a pair of these shoes from Wal-Mart, size 9 1/2 WW, black:
They are comfortably made, but my feet started hurting again after lunchtime. I am also wearing these orthotic inserts my mom gave me:
They help with back pain, but they are not comfortable. The company stresses to their customers that it takes three weeks for our feet to become accustomed to the things.
I am seriously considering investing in some orthopedic shoes. I have been shopping for some on the Internet, and I am interested in a few styles from Foot Smart:
The first two pair run about $100, but claim to treat every foot ailment possible. Plus, they come with two sets of removable insoles, and a pair of orthotic inserts, so I believe that the price is worth it! The Etonic Walkers are MUCH cheaper, but relieve only a few ailments. The Propet Mary Janes are...well....CUTE!!!! LOL And, they're washable!!! But at this point, I am willing to sacrifice style for comfort. I want a pair of shoes that I will be able to wear all day, with little or no discomfort.
I also received an Internet brochure from SAS, which has shoe stores right here in Houston, and not that far from me, either! I plan to check them out probably today or tomorrow.
To say that my feet are giving me so many problems, they sure don't LOOK as if they are suffering! I gave myself a pedicure Sunday night, and they are SO pretty!

I can certainly sympathize with hurting feet. I couldn't be on my feet all day for anything. At least your feet still LOOK good too. Between my neuropathy & all my foot surgeries, mine aren't that good lookin anymore. LOL Happy B irthday to everyone. Good luck finding a great pair of good shoes.

I sympathize with you on that one..hope you had a great 4th!
I stand on my feet 8 hours a day and I wear new balance gym shoes. I pick out a walking pair and they are so soft and comfy. I have never had problems or my feet hurting with them. Good luck with the shoes. The price of the shoes you want sounds like they are well worth the money.
I understand about the feet! A good pair of shoes are definetely a plus, but I really have'nt found a recommendable pair. I'm glad you stopped by my site and your comment was right, we should trust God and believe. I saw that your daughters are here in Mississippi. Did I tell you that's the state I live in? Anyway, just wanted you to know I read your comment on my journal. Come Again! I was planning on saying more, but my husband wants me. Guess I'll have to stop by later :)
I thought of the following verses, when I read your comment!
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that waverth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 1:5-8
I've missed so much. I'm so lost. :(
