Beat Feet *throb... ouch... throb*

to the OP,

I would recommend a trip to a good podietrist myself. If your toe sticks out at a funny angle, they should be able to fix that.

Well, my feet hurt for many reasons. One is that I carry some extra pounds. Another, I thought my comfy New Balance tennis shoes would be a great walking shoe at the parks but turns out....they weren't. While they felt great, I had no idea the damage they were doing to my big toes. From the creases that come when you walk (you know the ones toward the front of the shoe when you bend your foot while walking) it was brusing my big toes. I couldn't figure out why my toes hurt so bad. A 9 year old accidently stepped on my foot and I was in horrible pain after that which was a tip off that something wasn't right. It shouldn't have hurt that bad. It was a few days later when we got home and I took off my nail polish that I saw it...BLACK toes nails! The pain is gone but the nails are still black after a month and half.

I wore my tennis shoes in the am with socks. I Put on crocs mid day till evening then back into tennis shoes every day. We were there for 3 days. By the last day my feet were in misery and had swollen up! Not enough water I guess.

I have a pair of Birks that I now love... but they hurt like all get out when I first purchased them... it took a good two weeks to break them in!

I just purchased some crocs a couple of weeks ago and that is all I wear if I am not at work now! LOVE THEM!! I also purchased some Mickey Crocs for the boys... great for swim classes!

Foot pain is my worst enemy! I was so worried about my feet when we were planning our trip to DL. I have Planter Facitis (sp?). That is where it feels like somebody is stabbing me in the arch of my feet and in my heels. It's horrible. I really didn't want our trip slowed down by my foot pain. So I bought a pair of crocs and tested them out at Sea Worl a couple weeks before our trip to DL. They were ok, but they didn't have enough support for me, my feet hurt after a couple of hours. Then I bought a pair of New Balance Tennis shoes and a set of Dr. Scholl's 3-point inserts and that is what I wore the 3 days we were there. I have a 2 year old so we went back to the hotel mid-day for a nap so I would ice my feet and take some advil even if my feet were not hurting and it worked great! At the end of the 3 days my feet didn't hurt at all.

My daughter just got a Journey's shoe catalog in the mail and they have new crocs. They are not on the crocs site yet though. They are called Mammoth. They are the beach crocs with a faux fleece lining and the bottom edge holes are not open. Just holes on top. Sounds cushy!
