Can anyone help me find a pair of sandals or flip flops that are really springy and good for your feet but not actually ugly as sin?

PLease? I have 2 problems - fallen arch thing on foot so I usually have to wear insole / supportive shoe
now have pelvic problem so unless shoe very springy it hurts like buggery every time foot hits pavement

I am down to one pair of Ecco trainers which are comfortable but it is getting HOT
need shoes for next 2 months which I can wear with a skirt ideally
not too pricey as only needed short term (baby due in July after which pelvis should be ok)
and not those kind of ugly walking sandals that I know some people do wear with skirts but I will not

I like the look of birkies but they don't look springy
I wore normal boots out last week (non springy) and every step was like a knife up my fanjo

Birkies have a raised section to support dropped medial arches.

FrannyandZooey · 05/05/2008 19:55

there's no way I could wear those Kew ones even if not pelvically challenged
they are hard and flat
I need something orthopedic or something
