I Just Can't Wear Flat Shoes Anymore

I put on my Clarks sandals yesterday and again today just to run out to lunch and had a terrible time walking in them. That's because they're flat. No arch. No support. It's ironic that I can't wear flat shoes because neither can I wear heels at this age. I am doomed to athletic shoes and sensible slip-on shoes with arches. Can you still wear any shoes you want?

I really can’t wear them anymore either. Even my flip flops have to have some height to them.

If I'm going to be on my feet any length of time, I need my custom orthotics.

So far, I am okay with shoes, but I do like hiking shoes

I dont have arches in my feet, they fell so it doesn't matter much if my feet are flat.

Most of my shoes are flats. Some sneakers. I never could wear high heels.

I wear flats but not all kinds. Now I am comfortable in only few kinds of footwear and keep buying the same ones to replace the old ones. My work at home and even job requires me to be on feet for long hours. I have to have something comfortable.
