I agree and had the same reaction. I find more relief in well padded but supportive walking shoes like Easy Spirit. My biggest problem is a wide front (my toes don't taper, they are sort of "squared off"), narrow heel and high arch. Believe me I have spent plenty on buying shoes that feel comfortable when I try them on but when I try to wear them for any length of time, forget it! I could cry over how many shoes are sitting in my closet I cannot wear just because I tried to get something that didn't kill me. If anyone out there wears a size 7 wide and wants them I will be happy to send them on. I have not been in a "dressy" shoe in I don't know how long but just recently found that Easy Spirit makes some pretty decent looking lace-up and supportive dress shoes with a 1 or 1-1/2" lift that come in wide. I am even able to wear these all day at work with no more pain at the end of the day than any other pair of shoes I own. I think the l" heel is pretty good but then I do need to keep on top of the calf stretching... Anyway, this has been a huge issue for me and I guess I needed to vent. I am serious about the shoes though.
