Long gone are the days when wearing Keds all day was comfortable.

I have reached the age where I need to be fitted for sneakers. One of my arches seems to be collapsing a bit and walking has become excruciating on the outer edge of my foot and my hips.

Who knew?

My appointment is tomorrow morning. I see multiple dollar signs in the future..

My Ortho doc treated me for plantar fasciitis for over a year. Including the most painful shot in the sole of my feet which worked for 24 hrs.

During that year Doc urged me to buy shoes by Alegria which I refused because they look like “old lady” shoes. I finally broke down and bought the shoes. No more pain, fasciitis or discomfort. Now it’s all I have in my closet.

Expensive but worth every penny.

@LnzyHou I'm 54 (old, but not old) and I just looked up the brand. I think the Mary Jane shows are adorable! I just may have to splurge. Thanks for the suggestion!

@ChippySuave

You will never regret it. Watch for them on sale too. Bought a pair on Amazon sale that are great for evenings. The sandals are wonderful too. My friend wears the MJs—6 different styles.

@ChippySuave

You may need a little period of adjustment. Alternating with non-Alegria shoes messed me up.

@ChippySuave @LnzyHou Alegria is the best for teacher shoes! A nurse told me about them my 1st year.

@LaurelGreen @ChippySuave

Alegria shoe line is getting cuter and cuter every year. That’s all I wear.
