Foot comfort is a major concern to me. I have terrible feet. I had my right foot operated on a few years ago for a heel spur (plantar fascitis), I have another heel spur in my left foot that isn't quite bad enough for surgery yet. (We'll see how the trip to WDW will affect that.) Last fall I strained my left Achille's tendon, which isn't fully recovered yet. Plus, I am prone to ingrown toenails, and have had the toenails on both big toes partially cut out. So, to put it mildly, my feet suck! I hit the mall today and did my Disney shoe shopping trip. Okay, really I did need some new shoes, but I figured if I got them now I'd have the summer to break them in before our September trip to WDW. First on my list were Teva's. Boy, did I have a hard time finding these. I had been looking at them on the internet, but hated to buy them without trying them on. I called about 10 shoe stores before I found that American Outfitters had the leather Circuit style I wanted. The good news was that I got these normally $80 sandals on sale for $49.99. The bad news is that I normally wear a size 9, and the closest they had were 8's. The 8's felt okay in the store, but now that I'm home and walking around the house in them they are rubbing my little toes and my big toe is almost to the edge of the shoe. But, I called another American Outfitters store and they had 1 pair of 9's left. So, now I have to drive 45 miles tomorrow to pick them up. Gosh, I hope they didn't forget to hold them for me! The Teva's are really cushy though, so I think I will like them after I get the proper size. I wasn't planning on getting new tennies for a month or so, but Famous Footwear was having a buy one, get one 1/2 off sale. Being the cheap person I am, I can't resist a bargain. So, I ended up getting a pair of Easy Spirit walking shoes, and a pair of Rockport walking shoes. I tried on several pairs of New Balance because my podiatrist recommended them and I saw many good things about them on these boards. However, they were totally uncomfortable on my foot. The instep of the shoe didn't line up with my instep, no matter how many sizes and widths I tried on. Guess it's just my weird foot. I totally hate the look of the Easy Spirit shoes I bought. No offense to any senior citizens on these boards, but they look like old lady shoes. But, they are like walking on clouds. The more I look at them, the more I hate them but they are so comfortable I guess I'll compromise. So, if any of you Disser's are at WDW from Sept 14-23 and see a blond haired lady with ugly shoes, that'll be me! The Rockports on the other hand are very stylish, but not quite as comfortable as the Easy Spirits. Our vacation at Williamsburg, VA last summer was nearly ruined because I ended up getting 10 huge blisters on my feet. I had a 30 minute routine every morning of New Skin ointment, bandaids, and moleskin. I was a sight! I even got blisters on the tip end of my toes so I couldn't even wear tennies. I hadn't brought sandals with me, so I had to go to Wal-Mart to get a pair so my toes wouldn't hit anything. I had to wear socks with my sandals because of all the blisters, so I looked pretty goofy. I can only hope I have better luck this year...
