I've had a lot of luck with Danskos... not for everyone but I can walk up to 10 miles in those shoes and just have slightly sore ankles (they don't have good ankle support that's why they feel great! the only place you feel the shoe is right on top of your foot and the arch is supported well.)

Otherwise, I'd go barefoot all the time like live somewhere warm and easy to get outside. Crocs are fine until they start to stretch out and you can feel the sharp stones poking your feet through the worn out part of the sole (for me this is usually right under where the ball of my foot is).

Actually, I like that. I like feeling "something".
With shoes with no texture at all on the sole of my foot, I feel like I'm floating, not connected to the ground.

I hate shoes all together.i think they make my feet feel trspped. I used to get in trouble for running around school in my socks or barefoot. I often loose my shoes. I walk around my neighborhood barefoot. But i hate sandals or flipflops. I dont like the strappes on them.


:) used to walk around school barefoot too
