inserts for my new walking shoes.
Shopping--What did you buy?
- Thread starter Beth Gallagher

There are websites and videos that show different ways to lace shoes to help with top-of-foot pain.
Some suggest lacing them from the outside in.
Some recommend lacing them through every-other-set of eyelets.
Some recommend skipping lacing altogether over the sore part of the foot.
I've had some shoes cause pain in the tops of my feet, but that's just because of how the shoes were designed. This is why I hate buying shoes and clothes over the internet. I don't know how people do it. I don't have the patience to process returns until I find something I like.

So tue! I likie Shetchers although ordering them online is going to happn again.
Last two pair I got were hard insoles and foot bottom.
I tried those, along with doing a triple or quadruple twist before the loops (which helped a little), but either they aren't tied tight enough to be useful or they hurt.

....And make sure the shoes are the right size and wide enough too. Even though a person has worn the same size of shoe and width for years, feet can change. I have read numerous complaints from reviewers that shoes are not being made wide enough anymore.
That sucks. It's not as though you can avoid wearing shoes or walking.

I love Orthofeet brand shoes & sandals. They already come with quality padded insoles and spacers to fine-tune fit.

Once you find them please buy several pairs if you can. With pain on the top of your foot you may not need wide but 1/2 size bigger. Have you discussed this with your orthopedic?
I went from full custom inserts and simply ugly shoes to Asics gel for sneakers. Specialty shoe stores can walk you through.

I just avoid lace-up shoes, which is unfortunate because I have some nice sneakers that don't get worn. I mostly wear loafers or sandals.
I don't wear them around the house; for that, I have flip-flops and a pair of slip-ons. But, for walking, particularly in the woods, I need something that isn't going to slip off as easily as it slips on.

For walking around town, you might check out some hiking sandals... Teva, Merrell, Ecco, Keen, etc. They have good support and are very comfortable in the summertime. Many of them are waterproof, too.

A white satin top with side slits and individual feathers in black/grey/blue as design. Perfect over a sleeveless little black one.

Beth, not really. While the other ladies in this forum are also very nice, you, Yvonne and Faye are really nice to us.New motor for the swimming pool pump. Goodbye $600. The current motor is starting to whine pretty loud so I thought I'd get the jump on it before it totally dies and we get mauled at the pool store for 2X the cost. @Cody Fousnough ... you'd really hate living next door to me right now.

I know we have been through some arguments in the past, Cody. I think we are all finally mellowing out, though. Seeing each other go through tough times like cancer treatment makes one realize that petty arguments are dumb. I'm glad you're getting settled in your new home and I hope you're both very happy there.

Thanks Cody, it was very kind of you to include me with the more prominent gals, Yvonne and Beth.
That deserves a

To take the thread back to topic, I finally broke down and ordered some elastic waist band denim pants. I found these expensive USA made ones, but 1/3 the original price on Poshmark. I should have them in a week. USPS is slower that a 3 legged turtle these days. I still have lots of USA made Levi jeans, but none are elastic waist that is great for lounging around the house, which is what I do for many hours a day.

I like those, and they have functional front pockets too. I hate it when they don't put pockets on elastic waist pants.

I agree! I also like the slant pockets being easier to get hands in. I don't need back pockets anymore and find denim pants are more comfy for sitting, without them. I also like the fuller straight leg. My Oncology nurse wears these and said they were super soft and comfy, and they looked great on her. Of course she is young and lean and every old mans dream. I have heard there are old men that beg their PCP for a referral, so she can check their prostate.
A friends husband, went in, thinking he was going to see her, but she was off busy in the chemo section, so he got one of the guys. He is trying to convince his PCP that he needs a second opinion. He didn't appreciate me saying, "Well, go back and see the guy doc again, but this time ask him to use two fingers." No sense of humor, I tell you!
