Need new shoes, gentle, comfy, cushioned shoes/slippers! It’s gotten bad- for over a year we’ve been living in a unit that has polished concrete floors- rugs and mats everywhere. But, can’t endure any more, I wake up in the mornings with throbbing feet, I’ve tried a lot to make it manageable but I obviously just need a new pair shoes/slippers to wear around the house during mornings and nights, something with good cushioning- in an ideal world slip on shoes- but idc, just want out of pain, maybe you think inserts are the answer?? Offer anything that’s worked for you and yours- I’ll be so grateful! As always, thanks comrades!

Edit: Thank you everyone soooo much! My first move is buying a pair of crocks for around the house, I found a drug store nearby that has the dr.scolls insole machine. And long term will think about a pair of Altra’s and look for sales(they are not cheap). Thank you hexbears!!

    They’re a bit expensive, but I love Altra shoes. They are wide toe box running shoes that are very cushioned. I have no arch issues though. I like the Escalante model.

      the most important thing is the wide toe box, that’s really a must for comfort/health and everything else like arch support, heel drop, and sole firmness is person to person

      I love my altras too

          Being fashionable and wearing thin sneakers and boots all the time literally gave me chronic foot issues, fuck the shoe fashion industry
