Hi……the footwear called FitFlop was originally developed for this…..however it is the biggest name out there for comfort, evidenced by so many hospitals using their medical clogs…..white and black. I am NOT a salesperson for them at all. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and have had many many operations to secure my balance and joints. What has held me in great stead through it all are Fit Flops. The thick original ones. You set your feet into them and they imprint and correct, the differential from one side of your body to the other . No one can wear them but you as they change the imprint. They redistribute your weight to accommodate pressure points . They also have a wobble board in the bottom of the heel to stabilize you and keep your balance. If you lose a lot of weight, or get a new hip or knee or ankle, throw them out and start again. I have actually put them all through the dishwasher to imprint them anew, but it is just 75% effective I think. They are boots, and flip flop and shoes and sneakers and walking shoes and boat shoes……all of it. I get them on Amazon as it’s a lot cheaper and watch for sales. If you wear a half size, go down to the whole size. I give them to brides w the crystal sparkles on them to wear at their receptions and honestly every bride it thrilled and said they made their feet so happy which made them so happy after hours in shoes. I give them to my surgeons after double surgeries, and they always let me know that I doubles their ability to stand in hours of surgery with no back pain. I made my husband wear them when he was told he might need back surgery. He never needed back surgery!……I had my mother wear them with PD at 90 and she was the only patient walking upright in the unit. Try them. You can always return them. They have sliders and slip ones and anything you can imagine. Treat yourself! Never buy them on eBay. Or used. They are ruined for anyone else. Oh….and different model shoes tend to work different muscles ,so if you don’t like the feel of one just return and get a different type. You are buying the sole bed! They are also microbicrobial!….so I have them even in the garden w no socks…..the clogs. I do highly recommend the thick ones….the original ones as they act as shock absorbers when you are walking. I also want you to know that I never needed PT again after surgery. I’d just buy a new pair and walk out happily…….the PT for my next surgery just called and I told her no….didn’t need it for the first poly knee exchange and won’t need it for the second. …….my sister only likes the shoes, my daughter only the slip ones, my son loves the sneakers in Manhattan my daughter in law won’t go to work without them and shes a nurse who originally got them for me. I hope you have the same pain freeing experience! God Bless

I just ordered a pair of fit flops, thanks so much for sharing! I have plantar fasciitis and chronic pain in my lower back and neuropathic pain in my legs so I look forward to finding some relief 😅
