Hi Ray, Until recently I had been buying Xero shoes and have several pair. My first ones were something you might find could for you - https://xeroshoes.com/shop/shoes/sunrise-men/. All of their shoes come with an insert you can take out and add an orthotic if needed. This one is just a nice all around super thin slipper with a thin rubber sole.

The last two pair of shoes I've tried have been from Orthofeet and actually feel a little better on the feet but are a little easier when walking due to having a more cushioning sole and insert than the Xero shoes which are minimalist zero drop barefoot shoes. I now have 2 pairs of Orthofeet shoes - a step-in slipper (https://www.orthofeet.com/products/vito-black) that is super comfy and easy to put on and take off. I also have a hiking boot with a 2 zipper back flap for easy on/off that I like (https://www.orthofeet.com/products/ryder-black) and am waiting on one I just ordered, a step-in (hands free) version of the zippered boots - https://www.orthofeet.com/products/verno-hands-free-boots-brown/.

I'm kind of torn between the two brands because the Xero shoes give me firmer support and feeling on the ground and I feel more stable but the Orthofeet feel much better and make walking easier due to the spring/push from the cushioned sole when walking. The catch-22 for me is balance. I have to be more careful when wearing the Orthofeet because I'm a little more wobbly especially when stepping onto an elevated sidewalk from a parking lot. I have to make sure I go up squarely like stepping up stairs and not at an angle which seems to effect my balance more. Nothing wrong with the Penguin two step 🙃
