Default Sketchers!

Skechers (correct spelling!), specifically any of their slip-on (no shoe string tie required) shoes. ‘Love the light weight, durability, and the memory-foam insole.

Default Kuru shoes

My wife and I both have foot issues. Her - plantar fasciitis; me - heel spurs. We discovered Kuru shoes about 5 years ago and that’s all we wear. No more foot pain! Good stuff.

SAS shoes from the store in Brownwood. I’m on my feet all day long and they’re the best I’ve had.

Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs are synonymous...

Unless you're talking about spurs on the back of the heel where the achilles tendon attaches...

The New Balance aren't doing it anymore and the flip flops just don't have the support plus I've tripped in them a few times and don't want to fall.
What's your go to for everyday wear?
Go to Amazon and type in FitVille shoes; They have a wider toe area and each size has 4 variables:For example size 10, 10W, 10WW,10WWW.

I have bone spurs on both feet, I guess from wearing combat boots and steel toes shoes for around 45 years. One bone spur on back heal where my Achilles attaches ( was told 6 moths to year recovering with reattached Achilles tendon). I was able to work through pain by doing heal stretches, took about 4 months to relieve pain. I stretch every morning before exercising and before I go to bed. I had one bone spur removed from top of my big toe. Never was same. So I’m avoiding any surgery if possible.

You are smart to avoid that surgery. It's no fun to do and even less fun to recover from.

I recommend stretching on arising, before and AFTER exercising and also several times randomly during the day, followed by a final. stretch at bedtime.

Sounds like you have that covered.

My Golds XR 9 seems to be the prefect stretching platform. I place my toes up on bottom tubular frame, grab top tubular frame and lean forward which stretches hamstrings and Achilles.

I also do the tennis ball roll sole of my feet.

Unless they've changed dramatically, I was never impressed by them. Very flat with minimal support.

But, I'm sure they fit some people quite well.

Like SWMBO says, there's a top for every pot...

Dress shoes, what are those? A while back we went to a semi formal wedding and my wife wouldn’t let me wear crocs. She told me to get all my shoes and she would decide which would be most appropriate. She selected my Skechers golf shoes. I was tearing up the dance floor with my soft spikes ( :

These are my recently purchased "dress shoes"... Insanely comfortable!

I'm wearing them with my navy blue suit (a suit is a matching coat and pants, typically worn to more formal occasions ) next weekend...
