I’m sorry to disagree with Birkenstock. I have the same one I bought when I was in Germany last year. It hurt my feet so much after walking for a while. I thought it just need to be broken so I wear it every now and then. Unfortunately it still hurts my feet if I try to wear it for longer walks. Very disappointed for the price I paid for it.
Oofos are amazing shoes. I wear them in the house. I used to have lots of feet pain but no more due to The oofos and on cloud. These two shoes have changed my life
With aging, foot issues, weight gain, menopause, breast cancer survivor; Birkenstocks are my all day, every day shoes for the last 6 years . And will continue!! Love my extra energy to get things done because my feet, legs and back are supported.
Comfort is priceless--yes, I agree. Especially in shoes. Our feet support us all day every day and it's worth it to buy good, comfortable footwear. Be kind to your feet!
Thank you for your positive attitude and non-judgemental, charming, helpful and honest presentations. Because of your delightful shows I actually went to Walmart looking for the items. Unfortunately most of the Walmarts in Oregon do not have any clothes at all! I found one that did but it did not have any of the cute things you featured. I will order through your site rather than waste my time going to Walmarts that have no clothes. Your story and your victory have been a real inspiration to me as I recover from an accident and help my husband with his cancer treatment and deal with bad reactions to the Covid vaccines. As the hits just keep coming and the world seems to be turning into a Max Max movie, you have been a source of hope and humor and kindness. Thank you so much!
My most comfortable '9 hours on my feet' shoes have been Skechers 'Go Walks'. My heavenly un- believably comfortable favorite sandals to walk in were Clark's cloudsteppers with a back strap. Both of these are casual in appearance. I also have a pair of Clark's booties with the Cloud stepper insoles and a wedge heel. Also comfortable, and with Pants people think I'm wearing boots. 🏃♀️ I'm over 60.
I like the last "ugly" shoes that come with buckles. I love those the best I can adjust them for socks! My favorite shoe ever. I live at the beach and they are a must have!!!
Hello from Quebec, Canada, I love my Birkenstock sandals so much, I purchased Birkenstock insoles to get the same comfort in my other shoes, I paid $65 for them but I find the comfort they bring really worth it.
Totally agree, I have at least 15 pairs. Different styles but the original wobble board sole is my favorite. For dressy shoes, in addition to Clark's, try Rockport.
I'm 61. I've been wearing Birkenstocks since I was in my 30's. I live in a 4 season state so I have clog types and sandal types and they are the best. For 30 years I've been wondering why everyone thinks they're ugly. But I'm also the queen of tie dye! Love your channel.
Totally agree with birkenstock! The ONLY sandals I used when we travelled to Europe & Asia. I wore the plastic birkenstock in our beach trips in the Philippines (btw gorgeous beaches). Didn’t bring any other shoes. Wore it from the airport. Solved my foot issue. Thanks to my podiatrist for recommending this brand. Saved me from foot surgery.
Clarks sell the most comfortable shoes! As I’ve gotten older ( I am 50 ) taking care of my feet is important, I do suffer from plantar fasciitis. I wear Brooks sneakers and I love them. Great video!
My comfortable shoes are from Ecco, Earth, Taos, Blondo, Palladium, Altra, and Chaco. Also did you know you can clean cork bed shoes with a baking soda and water paste and a toothbrush? It really works, those dirty marks will come right off!
I live in my Birkenstocks. I wear a 7 in most shoes and the 37 fits perfectly. I also have some Ecco booties (37) that are great for the winter. I have yet to try any of the pillow slides.
Always put your money into shoes you wear every day! I always check the weight of a shoe before I even try them on. We all have issues with our bodies that relate to foot support. I love your selections and drawing attention to this issue . As you get older when people compliment something your wearing the first response is "it's just so comfortable" . 😘
I’m so glad to hear someone say that tile and hard wood floors hurt their feet! I thought I was the only one with “sensitive” feet. I have worn my Birkenstock foam pool sandals everywhere this summer-so comfy!
Thank you, Angela. I totally agree that comfort is the most important ting when buying footwear! I have had birkenstocks for 30+ years & still love them!
Oh man I will tell you once you wear Birki's you will never let them go and they lost forever. I got all mine at QVC long time ago and they are still good. Once you get use to them they feel so good on your feet, legs and back. They are great!!
My mother impressed upon me at a very young age, that 2 very important things to take care of in life are 1.Teeth, 2. Feet (always buy very good comfortable shoes)
I stand all day for my job. I also have foot issues. I have had plantar fasciitis in both heels at the same time. I have sent alot on shoes looking for comfort. Two of my favorite brands are Vionic and Dansko.
Hi Angela , nothing to do with clothes but my friend has a white Maltese and gives him distilled water only and it keeps his face white as white. No brown stuff at all on his face. Just thought I’d share. Love your channel. 💕
Thank you Gina! I have heard that and only give him water from our osmosis system BUT, some other people in my house, LOL, don't do that and just give him tap water!! Grrr
New subscriber and am turning 65 years old in November and I finally bought a pair of Birkenstock....then I ordered another pair. Lol When I was in high-school I wore them all the time. What goes around comes around is so true.
Like you, I will spend the $$ on shoes because of my back issues as well as my 4-5 mile walking exercise regime every day. I’ve loved Clark’s for years from sandals to boots and have always loved New Balance shoes for walking, they work best for me. Whatever works for you as far as comfort, go for it! Any $$ is worth it for happy feet!
I learned early on (at 17) only wear comfortable shoes. Thank goodness, I have rarely had any foot issues over the past 4 decades. I recommend staying far away from cheap shoes (Walmart, Payless, etc.) and only wear Ecco, Birkenstock, Clark’s, Vionic, Spenco, Keens, Merrell, Ryka, and the like.
The Pillow Slides that you showed are also my most favorite comfortable shoe. As you also mentioned, I know they are not the most attractive, but I can't help it, I were them mostly everywhere I go! (except for my steel toe shoes for work). After I broke my foot last year, I was in a walking boot not a cast, and when I was not in the boot at night before bed or around the house, this is what I wore and was the most comfortable in. If I lived in a climate I could wear them year around, i would! ❤
Embarrassingly, I have to admit that I have many, MANY shoes I do not wear because they are uncomfortable. We do tend to gravitate towards certain favorites. For me, especially, after bunion and hammer toe surgery ( 2007), I just have not been the same and can only wear wedges or a block heel. Clark, Sketchers and a brand named Cliffs are the most comfortable for me. Thank you for another video, Angela!
For women in the UK, there is a brand called Terraloom now that is specialised in comfortable work shoes for women. They have a lot of cushion on it and still look very stylish. My wife works for the NHS and she always buys from them. They have a specific collection for healthcare workers.
I just subscribed. This was a great video. I'm a Birkenstock fan, but you gave me some other good options. I'm 77 so comfort and support is so important. I look forward to your fashion ideas to come! ♥️
Wonderful video Angela! Had foot surgery 10 years ago and foot comfort is my main objective when buying shoes now! I feel like comfortable shoes are an investment and I’m ok paying a little more for comfort. Thank you for giving us some great shoe options!!
I have a pair of Keen walking sandals. They look like “old People” shoes but I wore them exploring Ephesus and Istanbul and Rome and Athens and my feet were comfortable and well supported. I have a high arch which means support is crucial. Go Walks by Skechers are comfortable short term but do not offer proper support for a high arch. I also love a walking sandal because your feet don’t sweat like in a running shoe.
Angela when you recommended the pillow slides previously for foot pain I got them the same day. After a year of terrible foot pain in less than a week it was gone. Thank you!!!!
I know what you mean, my old feet have walked many many miles in a lifetime. I love the slip-ons that Walmart has but only in the Spring they sell them. I think I will get the last pair of saddles, thanks so much for the video.
I just suddenly started having pain in my left foot several months back. So bad I was limping. Being a nurse, of course I self diagnosed myself online, and probably it’s plantar fasciitis. I wear Dansko clogs at work, which are supposedly good for such a condition….but not such great shoes the rest of the time. So, I got some Vionic shoes, Vionic slippers, and Birkenstocks. I also got several pairs of socks with compression around the arch of the foot. No more pain. Just in LOVE with the Birkenstocks. Always thought they were ugly as hell, but now think they look great and they feel sooo good!
@@SIKHRAJ-1699 the brand is OS1st, they have a website. I have the compression plantar fasciitis socks, they have two types, one is merino wool, the other just a regular nylon blend, I guess. The merino wool feel a little more compressive, I like them better.
I totally agree with everything you talk about, foot health and comfort is so important for overall well-being. One problem I will mention that I have continually that makes it difficult to find comfortable shoes is that I have narrow and very long feet. The shoe industry seems to have mostly forgotten about people who have narrow feet.
That's a laugh! I have wide feet, and the shoe industry doesn't care about us either. With any kind of pointy shoe, with most brands I would have to go up a full size to avoid squashing my toes (I don't buy those brands, actually). But, Vaneli makes both narrow and wide widths, as does Naturalizer and Munro American.
I have the cloud slippers in the buckle style. Love them. My feet are super narrow, so I have to have adjustability. That’s why I love my Birkenstocks and spend the extra on them.
Love my Birks!!!! I have plantar faciitis and they are the best for that issue, for me anyway. They have many other styles of shoes for different styles. My next Birk purchase will be the Boston clog!!!
You are so right. Once I built my new house all hardwood and tile I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my feet!!!! What a terrific video. Thank you
My daughter gifted me with a pair of Allbirds sneakers for Christmas 2019 and 3 years later they are still my alltime favorite for comfort. Ugly, yes. Comfortable, DOUBLE YES! If you don't like ugly shoes, just avert your eyes from my feet.
I almost ordered Allbirds they recently had a sale. I was too late, size 8 and 9 sold out. Which style did you get? Did you size up? Most styles don’t have wide available. Would love to know your thoughts.
@@goldie4245 She gifted me with a pair of the Tree Runners in my true size (11) and they fit perfectly. Comfortable all the way through their third season!
@@m.alicegreen I have a wide flat foot. I didn’t see wide widths. They suggest sizing up for wider feet. Last sale all popular styles and colors sold out fast. Will hope for another sale! Thank so much!
Yes! I only want comfortable shoes. I completely agree with Clark’s and Sam Edelman. I have tried the other 3 you mentioned but Dr. Scholls are extremely comfortable as well. I bought mine at Kohl’s. Love your videos!
I got the Walmart ones - yellow with happy faces. They are so comfy! All of the sudden I am having heel pain, and these are saving me. I don't want to walk anywhere without them.
I am a true believer in comfortable shoes as well. I love Clark’s too and am going to get those low black pumps! Never heard of the “On” or the cloud slippers, but am intrigued. I have very high arches though and usually wear vionic shoes- they are super comfortable too. Thanks for this info.
I have the same style Birkenstocks and sneakers. Living in Florida with tile floors, I second what you say about closed cell foam sandals. Mine are Crocs. For formal occasions, I wear FitFlops.
Hi, I am 100% agreement, at our age if it’s not a comfortable shoe regardless of cost I don’t buy them. Hooray for comfort. Wish we were neighbors. Stay well.
We all become like Robin Williams said when playing Mrs Doubtfire. “women in comfortable shoes“ I have heard about your No 1, you are right they do look ugly, but if you feel like you walking on air, who cares, and whilst once upon a time we may have cared. With age comes wisdom 😊 Thank you for your upload, been a fan of Clark’s shoes all my life. I live in Australia, we have them here too.
I wear oofos that are extremely comfortable, had them for 10 years. They now have slippers!! I cannot wear shoes without a back except for the oofosa. The most comfortable shoe I got at comfort pluss store silvery gray, when you put your foot in is like heaven! Expensive but worth it.
Best video ever! I have all the same feet issues. Only thing I would add is fit flops. But I’m definitely going to try the sneakers and the pillow shoes. Already a Birkenstock fan. Never thought I would but it happens.
The best cushioning I've found is Joyas, and they stay cushiony, they don't flatten out. A little pricey, but you can get sneakers, boots, leather shoes like mary janes, or sandals, so you can usually find something appropriate for different jobs. When I was working 12 hour shifts and had to stay on my feet the whole time, they were a lifesaver.
I hear ya! Comfortable shoes are a must. I am in FL in the winter as well. I would like to see outfits for Florida winters. We don't wear jeans, blazers, scarves and boots. (Except maybe two days) we would like to look stylish & put together without looking like a tourist.
@@villiehaizlip7626 I live in SC, and love boots more than anything and only get to wear them 2 or 3 times a year. I once had a closet full of winter clothes that I loved. Never got to wear them and after 50+ years I only buy clothes that I can wear without sweating. So I get darker, thinner material clothes for winter, and sweaters rather than coats and I LOVE COATS. I also accumulated a closet of beautiful winter coats that still had the price tags ( I gave them all to Goodwill). Why did it take me so long to understand that my love of winter clothes was never going to work out???
New viewer here. Totally relate how our choices of shoes change when we get older. When I visited my son in Vietnam 4 years ago (I was 65 then) something happened to my feet. It was like a plantar fasciitis I could hardly walk. I missed out on a lot. I'm Canadian so I'm sure those prices are higher. I'm definitely looking for a good shoe for walking. Thanks for sharing your favourites.
I know that a lot of people think they are ugly, but Crocs actually have many many styles and they are so comfortable. Definitely recommend for those who have larger/wider feet, or anyone with joint issues (great cushioning for arthritic joints for example) I personally wear the croc flip flops around my house and the Bistro Clog is great for colder/wet weather. They have a non slip bottom and no holes.
I bought a pair of croc platform sandals and the rubber rubbed the top of my foot, causing a blister so i hardly ever wear them. It's so hard to find the perfect shoe 😒
Hi Angela! You look so pretty! I spend big bucks for shoes that are comfortable. Gotta protect my arches! My favs are Birkenstock’s, Sorel hidden wedge bootie, & Merrill’s. They are all ugly but at least I can walk for miles without pain. Love your videos and your little dog too!
I lived in Asia for 13 years. We always take our shoes off at the door and slip on an indoor shoe/slipper similar to the cloud slides to wear in the house. Most homes in Asia are hard floors, no carpet so having a designated indoor shoe saves your feet. 😊
I believe as Asians, no matter where you live, you have to change to your indoor slippers once you get home. Never wear outdoor shoes when you enter the house! 😏😉
My daughter taught her children from the time they were little to automatically remove their shoes when entering a house. It keeps the outdoor dirt out. Such a healthy idea.
I’ve had plantar fasciitis twice, and both times I had it in both feet. The On Cloudswift running shoes have been the only thing that makes my feet feel normal. They are worth every penny!!
I can't wait to buy a pair! I've been looking for a good, comfortable shoe! Knowing you also have had plantar fasciitis and it helped with that just solidified it for me. 💗
I thought I was the only one that suffered with bad foot problems. Totally agree good footwear is priceless. I recently discovered sketchers foamies. Mine are a double strap nude slider with buckle detail. What a game changer !
Hi ,Angle Good To See You How's The Family Doing ??? All Of Your Shoes Look Great !! I Love What you're Wearing Well Angle Take Care And Many Blessings To You And Your Wonderful Family. Bye-Bye Seeya' Next Time.!!!!
Hi Angela, My most comfortable high heels are from Clarks...oh boy, they really are comfortable with the amazing padding. I might need to break down and buy the ugly shoes! Thanks for sharing!
Fitflop sandals and shoes. The toepost slides are best around the house. The bed molds to your foot and offers the support in the arch and heel. These are a lifesaver in homes with hard flooring.
I love Birkenstocks. And I did the same thing when my Daughter purchased her ugly Cloud Slipper/Slide Shoes. She said Mom try them on you will love them. She was right They are soo comfortable 😮. Your House is so Gorgeous!! You should give us a home Tour. I would love to see it inside & out :)
Hi, I really enjoy your dynamic, energetic, and confident presentation. I have plantar fasciitis. Do your recommendations work for people with fasciitis?

Your shoes look so clean and brand new like they never been worn even once. I wish I could keep my shoes in such good condition.
Skechers! Every color, many styles, lightweight and extremely comfortable.
I love this forum that seems to be developing as comments about various shoes that help our feet I love it thank you Angela for your video
My comfortable shoes are from Ecco, Earth, Taos, Blondo, Palladium, Altra, and Chaco. Also did you know you can clean cork bed shoes with a baking soda and water paste and a toothbrush? It really works, those dirty marks will come right off!
Thank you Sarah Facci. What a great tip. Never dreamt this was possible.
Love my Altras.SOOO comfy!!!!!
Ecco the best!!
Cleaned my cork beds w baking soda in the fall & was so glad they were in my closet waiting for me this spring, great tip!
I love my birkies, so comfortable..at 67 I need comfort and some of the styles are so cute now. another good video thanks!
Thank you for succinct, easily understood and no extraneous chit-chat. Just the facts ma’am.
Thanks so much for this video. Your Doggie is beyond precious. ♥️

I LOVE Birkenstock’s. I’ve worn them for 20 years. The most comfortable.
Agreed, Clarks are awesome. I have at least 10 pairs, sandals, boots, flats and heels.
I’m so glad to hear someone say that tile and hard wood floors hurt their feet! I thought I was the only one with “sensitive” feet. I have worn my Birkenstock foam pool sandals everywhere this summer-so comfy!
Same! I wear my skechers in the house all the time. Yes hard wood hurts my feet!
Yes,. I've been told rarely-never go barefoot,. Shoes ok. Or supportive slippers...🙂
Also concrete floor if on it a long time
Oh I lo!ve those also
Especially these new fangled floors. My legs started hurting until I started wearing shoes inside.
I agree when your feet are comfortable you can do so many things. Comfort is more important then style.
Thank you, Angela. I totally agree that comfort is the most important ting when buying footwear! I have had birkenstocks for 30+ years & still love them!
I haven’t tried the cloud dupes yet. They look soooo comfy! Ugly doesn’t matter if they keep your feet from aching!
Oh man I will tell you once you wear Birki's you will never let them go and they lost forever. I got all mine at QVC long time ago and they are still good. Once you get use to them they feel so good on your feet, legs and back. They are great!!

Thank you! It'd be so wonderful if someone would make a wide foot favorite shoe video.
Thanks for watching!

Embarrassingly, I have to admit that I have many, MANY shoes I do not wear because they are uncomfortable. We do tend to gravitate towards certain favorites. For me, especially, after bunion and hammer toe surgery ( 2007), I just have not been the same and can only wear wedges or a block heel. Clark, Sketchers and a brand named Cliffs are the most comfortable for me.
Thank you for another video, Angela!
You are not alone! We have all bought cute shoes hoping they would also be comfortable only to find they were not for more than a short time 🙈
I need that surgery but I'm scared to death.
Haven't found a Dr. I feel comfortable with.
Pillow slippers/cloud slidder the best - the ones I have make an arch for me as well.
I love that you wore the Birkenstocks with the feminine clothing. I can’t tell you how much I love that.
Thank you Cindy! Women actually do that all the time in Europe. They wear their tennis shoes with dresses too during the day
For women in the UK, there is a brand called Terraloom now that is specialised in comfortable work shoes for women. They have a lot of cushion on it and still look very stylish. My wife works for the NHS and she always buys from them. They have a specific collection for healthcare workers.
I just subscribed. This was a great video. I'm a Birkenstock fan, but you gave me some other good options. I'm 77 so comfort and support is so important. I look forward to your fashion ideas to come! ♥️
Thank you Susan and welcome! 🤗
Try naots. Handmade in Israel. They have a great arch. Terrific styles in both casual and dress shoes.
@@carolynhart1241 yes, I think I've heard of them. I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip! 😊
My favorite and most comfortable shoes are. 1 Birkenstock's 2 Dansko 3 Clark 4 Easy Spirit 5
Nike Air
Wonderful video Angela! Had foot surgery 10 years ago and foot comfort is my main objective when buying shoes now! I feel like comfortable shoes are an investment and I’m ok paying a little more for comfort. Thank you for giving us some great shoe options!!
I LOVE my Birkies!!!!!! I also have foot trouble and I wear the Mayari - soooo comfortable and conforms to my high arches!
Hey
Angela I totally agree..I spent about $50 on sketchers flip flops and those are the only I wear 😊
Try Archie's flip flops, very comfie.
I have a pair of Keen walking sandals. They look like “old People” shoes but I wore them exploring Ephesus and Istanbul and Rome and Athens and my feet were comfortable and well supported. I have a high arch which means support is crucial. Go Walks by Skechers are comfortable short term but do not offer proper support for a high arch. I also love a walking sandal because your feet don’t sweat like in a running shoe.
Angela when you recommended the pillow slides previously for foot pain I got them the same day. After a year of terrible foot pain in less than a week it was gone. Thank you!!!!
I love hearing this!!! So thankful they helped you!
Hi 👋
I know what you mean, my old feet have walked many many miles in a lifetime. I love the slip-ons that Walmart has but only in the Spring they sell them. I think I will get the last pair of saddles, thanks so much for the video.
I just suddenly started having pain in my left foot several months back. So bad I was limping. Being a nurse, of course I self diagnosed myself online, and probably it’s plantar fasciitis. I wear Dansko clogs at work, which are supposedly good for such a condition….but not such great shoes the rest of the time. So, I got some Vionic shoes, Vionic slippers, and Birkenstocks. I also got several pairs of socks with compression around the arch of the foot. No more pain. Just in LOVE with the Birkenstocks. Always thought they were ugly as hell, but now think they look great and they feel sooo good!
I also have same issue, Can you share where you got your socks from? Like brand and style name. I need them too along with good pair of shoes.
@@SIKHRAJ-1699 the brand is OS1st, they have a website. I have the compression plantar fasciitis socks, they have two types, one is merino wool, the other just a regular nylon blend, I guess. The merino wool feel a little more compressive, I like them better.
I totally agree with everything you talk about, foot health and comfort is so important for overall well-being. One problem I will mention that I have continually that makes it difficult to find comfortable shoes is that I have narrow and very long feet. The shoe industry seems to have mostly forgotten about people who have narrow feet.
That's a laugh! I have wide feet, and the shoe industry doesn't care about us either. With any kind of pointy shoe, with most brands I would have to go up a full size to avoid squashing my toes (I don't buy those brands, actually). But, Vaneli makes both narrow and wide widths, as does Naturalizer and Munro American.
I have the cloud slippers in the buckle style. Love them. My feet are super narrow, so I have to have adjustability. That’s why I love my Birkenstocks and spend the extra on them.
Just a shout out to you Angela! You look so sweet with your hair up and that perfectly pink scarf. It’s a great look for you ❤️
Thank you thank you!! 🥰
I agree with #1 and #2. I have both and yes comfort is priceless.
Yeeeees! Preach those slides, I use them to walk on my tile floors (I have planters). Also have 7pairs of them.
Love my Birks!!!! I have plantar faciitis and they are the best for that issue, for me anyway. They have many other styles of shoes for different styles. My next Birk purchase will be the Boston clog!!!
You are so right. Once I built my new house all hardwood and tile I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my feet!!!! What a terrific video. Thank you
My daughter gifted me with a pair of Allbirds sneakers for Christmas 2019 and 3 years later they are still my alltime favorite for comfort. Ugly, yes. Comfortable, DOUBLE YES! If you don't like ugly shoes, just avert your eyes from my feet.
I almost ordered Allbirds they recently had a sale. I was too late, size 8 and 9 sold out. Which style did you get? Did you size up? Most styles don’t have wide available. Would love to know your thoughts.
@@goldie4245 She gifted me with a pair of the Tree Runners in my true size (11) and they fit perfectly. Comfortable all the way through their third season!
@@m.alicegreen I have a wide flat foot. I didn’t see wide widths. They suggest sizing up for wider feet. Last sale all popular styles and colors sold out fast. Will hope for another sale! Thank so much!
@@m.alicegreen hi there
I have those Clark's pumps. They're great! Classy and comfortable.
Yes! I only want comfortable shoes. I completely agree with Clark’s and Sam Edelman. I have tried the other 3 you mentioned but Dr. Scholls are extremely comfortable as well. I bought mine at Kohl’s.
Love your videos!
I got the Walmart ones - yellow with happy faces. They are so comfy! All of the sudden I am having heel pain, and these are saving me. I don't want to walk anywhere without them.
I am a true believer in comfortable shoes as well. I love Clark’s too and am going to get those low black pumps! Never heard of the “On” or the cloud slippers, but am intrigued. I have very high arches though and usually wear vionic shoes- they are super comfortable too. Thanks for this info.
Hi 👋
I have the same style Birkenstocks and sneakers. Living in Florida with tile floors, I second what you say about closed cell foam sandals. Mine are Crocs. For formal occasions, I wear FitFlops.
Hi, I am 100% agreement, at our age if it’s not a comfortable shoe regardless of cost I don’t buy them. Hooray for comfort. Wish we were neighbors. Stay well.
I watched this video several times to help with shoe shopping. Thanks for sharing your favorites.
You can’t beat Clark’s for comfort and quality!👍
I grew up wearing Clarks in England, but I also like Hotter, Rockports, and several other good quality brands.
You look so beautiful in that pink! 🩷
We all become like Robin Williams said when playing Mrs Doubtfire.
“women in comfortable shoes“ I have heard about your No 1, you are right they do look ugly, but if you feel like you walking on air, who cares, and whilst once upon a time we may have cared. With age comes wisdom 😊
Thank you for your upload, been a fan of Clark’s shoes all my life. I live in Australia, we have them here too.
I wear oofos that are extremely comfortable, had them for 10 years. They now have slippers!! I cannot wear shoes without a back except for the oofosa. The most comfortable shoe I got at comfort pluss store silvery gray, when you put your foot in is like heaven! Expensive but worth it.
Best video ever! I have all the same feet issues. Only thing I would add is fit flops. But I’m definitely going to try the sneakers and the pillow shoes. Already a Birkenstock fan. Never thought I would but it happens.
The best cushioning I've found is Joyas, and they stay cushiony, they don't flatten out. A little pricey, but you can get sneakers, boots, leather shoes like mary janes, or sandals, so you can usually find something appropriate for different jobs. When I was working 12 hour shifts and had to stay on my feet the whole time, they were a lifesaver.
Cloud slides are amazing!!! I like the Amazon ones better myself. Must haves!
I hear ya! Comfortable shoes are a must. I am in FL in the winter as well. I would like to see outfits for Florida winters. We don't wear jeans, blazers, scarves and boots. (Except maybe two days) we would like to look stylish & put together without looking like a tourist.
Since I will be down in FL too this winter, I am sure I will gear the clothes more to that environment so you will be in luck smile 😊
I'm in Fla And I Do wear those shoes, especially 👢Boots.
@@villiehaizlip7626 I live in SC, and love boots more than anything and only get to wear them 2 or 3 times a year. I once had a closet full of winter clothes that I loved. Never got to wear them and after 50+ years I only buy clothes that I can wear without sweating. So I get darker, thinner material clothes for winter, and sweaters rather than coats and I LOVE COATS. I also accumulated a closet of beautiful winter coats that still had the price tags ( I gave them all to Goodwill). Why did it take me so long to understand that my love of winter clothes was never going to work out???
New viewer here. Totally relate how our choices of shoes change when we get older. When I visited my son in Vietnam 4 years ago (I was 65 then) something happened to my feet. It was like a plantar fasciitis I could hardly walk. I missed out on a lot. I'm Canadian so I'm sure those prices are higher. I'm definitely looking for a good shoe for walking. Thanks for sharing your favourites.
Welcome Dianne!
Love Birkenstock….so comfortable !!
I know that a lot of people think they are ugly, but Crocs actually have many many styles and they are so comfortable. Definitely recommend for those who have larger/wider feet, or anyone with joint issues (great cushioning for arthritic joints for example) I personally wear the croc flip flops around my house and the Bistro Clog is great for colder/wet weather. They have a non slip bottom and no holes.
@@infjandcoping4614 no I haven't but only because I'm already tall. :) I might try them thanks!
I wish they'd bring back the Sloane platform flip flop. I tried the new ones but, of course, they just aren't the same.
I bought a pair of croc platform sandals and the rubber rubbed the top of my foot, causing a blister so i hardly ever wear them. It's so hard to find the perfect shoe 😒
Crocs are not good for sweaty feet.
Hi Angela! You look so pretty! I spend big bucks for shoes that are comfortable. Gotta protect my arches! My favs are Birkenstock’s, Sorel hidden wedge bootie, & Merrill’s. They are all ugly but at least I can walk for miles without pain. Love your videos and your little dog too!
I lived in Asia for 13 years. We always take our shoes off at the door and slip on an indoor shoe/slipper similar to the cloud slides to wear in the house. Most homes in Asia are hard floors, no carpet so having a designated indoor shoe saves your feet. 😊
We do that in Norway as well
@@kataiga We do it on Finland also.
We do that in the US, too :)
I believe as Asians, no matter where you live, you have to change to your indoor slippers once you get home. Never wear outdoor shoes when you enter the house! 😏😉
My daughter taught her children from the time they were little to automatically remove their shoes when entering a house. It keeps the outdoor dirt out. Such a healthy idea.
I’ve had plantar fasciitis twice, and both times I had it in both feet. The On Cloudswift running shoes have been the only thing that makes my feet feel normal. They are worth every penny!!
My husband HAD plantar fasciitis and he researched what to do… he quit eating sugary things. Within 3 days the pain was all gone ! Gone ! 😉👍🏻
I can't wait to buy a pair! I've been looking for a good, comfortable shoe! Knowing you also have had plantar fasciitis and it helped with that just solidified it for me. 💗
@@DenaeK I hope they help and that you love them!
I adore Birkenstocks! They help with lower back pain.
Thanks Angela. Really need comfort on my feet. 2” heels are as high as I go now💕
Have you ever tried sketchers? They are so comfortable and looks nice too
I thought I was the only one that suffered with bad foot problems. Totally agree good footwear is priceless. I recently discovered sketchers foamies. Mine are a double strap nude slider with buckle detail. What a game changer !
Hi sue
Love my Birkenstocks and Hokas. Walked miles in Europe with both!
Thanks for a practical advice. Comfort is key as we grow older.
Hi ,Angle Good To See You How's The Family Doing ??? All Of Your Shoes Look Great !! I Love What you're Wearing Well Angle Take Care And Many Blessings To You And Your Wonderful Family. Bye-Bye Seeya' Next Time.!!!!
Love the dog!! More guest appearances by the dog please!!❤
Hi 👋
Thank you and for showing us your sweet doggie again ❤️
Hi Angela, My most comfortable high heels are from Clarks...oh boy, they really are comfortable with the amazing padding. I might need to break down and buy the ugly shoes! Thanks for sharing!
Fitflop sandals and shoes. The toepost slides are best around the house. The bed molds to your foot and offers the support in the arch and heel. These are a lifesaver in homes with hard flooring.
I love Birkenstocks. And I did the same thing when my Daughter purchased her ugly Cloud Slipper/Slide Shoes. She said Mom try them on you will love them. She was right They are soo comfortable 😮.
Your House is so Gorgeous!! You should give us a home Tour. I would love to see it inside & out :)
Thank you! I've done a tour video of the first floor and view of the lake in the past.
Hi, I really enjoy your dynamic, energetic, and confident presentation. I have plantar fasciitis. Do your recommendations work for people with fasciitis?
Skechers Go Walk and Skechers Goga, not memory foam, are very comfortable. I have learned that as we age we lose the fat on the soles of our feet.
At my age, it seems to have crawled up to my tummy, lol.
I wanted a pair if those but we went done to a 5 and then they don't make them smaller. 😥
Love my sketchers especially for waking there my go to shoes!👟
I love my Sketchers Arch Fit slip one. They are cute and comfortable!
