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

hush puppies look very comfy
a little tiny bit ugly though?

cod I am not convinced by a flip flop that calls itself squidgy

malory do they have croc written on them? I mean would people know?

sorry lots of cross [posts

Do you like any of these?

This is the official shoe shop for the older lady with swollen ankles and bunions but my word are their shoes supportive and springy.

I had Hush Puppies mules when pregnant, they were very comfy.

Disclaimer; I'm not a lesbian, either.

fishie · 05/05/2008 20:06

they seem to have some sort of writing on the rhs fork of the upper bit. and they are downright odd with the sides.

BUT they will probably really be nice for you f&z. if you like will go to crocs shop tomorrow lunchtime and look at them, there is one really near my office.
