@sueinmn, Sue, how did your shoe shopping venture turn out? After a long and painful recovery from plantar fasciitis, I know first hand the importance of really good supportive shoes and yet did a real number on myself a week ago by slipping on some unstructured, soft lace-ups for a day with electricians. My bad for sure! and I'm not fully yet recovered but better. With new supportive tennis shoes, I've found the need to break them in slowly. Is that true for you as well?

And @gingerw Surprise. I revisited my shoe rack and found a pair of like new black leather Oxfords that were a little too loose. Then I went to Walgreens and found a pair of generic memory foam insoles for $10. Voila! My new shoes.

Ginger I have lightweight hikers, but reserve them for off pavement. I must buy ladies shoes due to very narrow feet. But like many other parts of me, they are arthritic so it's hard to find a comfortable fit. My favorite full service shoe store usually can fit me, but the prices make me gasp. I am also buying a few more memory foam insoles to see if I can extend the life of some other favorite shoes.

Today I'm with my little boys, and the wind is 30-40 mph.. Tomorrow I'll walk again if I don't blow away trying to get home.
