TKDmom Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Does anyone have experience with buying shoes to wear with orthotics? I have fallen arches and I have to wear rigid plastic inserts in my shoes if I am to be on my feet for any length of time. So, for me that has always meant tennis shoes. If I am going out and want to look nice, I wear dressier shoes. But then the next day, I pay the consequences in my ankles, knees, and hips. I'm starting to worry that the inflamation in my joints is going to lead to long term problems if I don't shape up and start weraing good shoes more often. Any suggestions for cute shoes that are also supportive enough to hold orthotics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LG Gone Wild Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I buy shoes in wide. Land's End has some shoes that work. I have about 5-6 pairs from them. It's not fancy but more feminine than tennis shoes. http://www.landsend.com/ix/shoes/Shoes/Women/index.html?seq=1~2~3&catNumbers=916~917&visible=1~2~1&store=le&sort=Recommended&tab=9&cm_re=D-7-1 Some great deals going on.

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I also wear orthotics- have for the past 20 years. I like to wear suede tie-up shoes from SAS. They come in many colors and are very comfy with the orthotics, but also look a little nicer than tennis shoes. I got a pair of leather orthotics made by the chiropractor, too, and I can velcro them into some dress shoes for special occasions. I have a pair of Pikolinos shoes that I can actually wear for a few hours at a time with the leather orthotics and my feet aren't killing me that badly at the end of the evening. They were expensive, but totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
