Skechers have really helped for a more comfortable walking experience.

Thanks! In the thread about shoes for neuropathy(I have arthritis pain, not neuropathy), many mentioned how much they like Skechers. Years ago, I had tried them and they just felt like a layer of cheap foam with no arch support, but after reading all the praise on here, I decided to give them a second look. I just got a pair of their Arch sandals (Affinity, I think) with noticeably decent arch support and heel cup and padded straps that don't constrict either my toes or bunions. I am surprised at how much better a product this is. I'll report back after I have worn them. I think I have finally found the combination of thin socks, insole, and arch booster that makes my feet happy in the Nira Orthofeet sneakers that I have been trying. I am using the Orthofeet insole with the thinner of the two inserts they provide in both shoes, and in only the left shoe, I have added their arch booster because I need to support my falling arch caused by the partially torn PTTendon in that foot. So I think I am keeping these. I am still in the 60-day return window, but now that I am walking a mile in them without pain or toe blisters, they are acceptable as the hot weather alternative to my cooler weather HOKA Bondi 8's.
The TEVA Hurricane (new model) sandals are working out as my water workout shoe. I wear socks in them when I will be doing step ups on the concrete pool stairs so I don't aggravate the bunions.
