If I find something I like, I wear them till they fall apart. <br />I love flip flops, but lately, I find that I don't pick my feet up high enough and stumble... my husband says it's the goofy shoes (he hates flip flops) but I say it's operator error... how many times have I told my children to pick up their feet and now look at me... ugh!

But, I still wear mostly flip flops. Yesterday I dressed for a party and actually wore shoes - it felt weird.<br /><br />My favorites are a pair of Rainbow flip flops that actually took a month to break in (their are YouTube videos on how to break them in), Reefs and for "dressing up" a bit - I have at least 30 pairs of Born leather flip flops in a rainbow of colors.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283748462955175670.post-33515316568883511362014-06-07T20:39:36.354-05:002014-06-07T20:39:36.354-05:00I've had plantar fasciitis and it's a tota...I've had plantar fasciitis and it's a total beeyotch. Ya know what helped the MOST??? I took a water bottle, filled it with water (not to the top or you'll have a problem), put it in the freezer, then rolled my foot (and heel) back and forth over the bottle for about 5-10 minutes, 3 time per day. It was like a miracle.

I have very flat feet, so I really need good support. Let me just tell you that I have suffered from plantars fasciitis. And it was AWFUL!!!!! I had to go to a podiatrist and they gave me a boot to wear. It was a challenge to walk in at first, but it immediately got rid of the pain. I even had to sleep in it! Hope your condition gets better soon. Wearing good supportive shoes and not going barefooted will be the best thing for you for a while. It takes a long time to get over.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283748462955175670.post-81618160820004467292014-06-07T10:35:11.025-05:002014-06-07T10:35:11.025-05:00"This is not something you get in the spring ..."This is not something you get in the spring from dirt on your face." hahaha<br />I love Clarks too.

I love them. Mine are the "thong" type and they have arch supports and I am old. I bought a cheapo pair of flip-flops last year. I've almost killed myself 10 times wearing them. I also like Borns. They are thick and squishy but they don't make that sound. When I get tired of wearing them for fancy I garden in them.karen@somewhatquirkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772267613790523188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283748462955175670.post-15420164164145022102014-06-06T18:42:54.643-05:002014-06-06T18:42:54.643-05:00I'm pretty picky about the toe thingy, but whe...I'm pretty picky about the toe thingy, but when I find a pair with the properly made toe thingy, that doesn't hurt my feet, I'm all about that pair. I like all three of your choices. Having a black, white and nuetral pair lets you get a little matchy-matchy with your outfit. Comfort is still king, though, and it sound like your new Clarks are going to get a lot of use this summer.Amy Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148808616622185925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283748462955175670.post-7406274887258737282014-06-06T14:43:11.088-05:002014-06-06T14:43:11.088-05:00I agree with Korrie--we're so much better off ...I agree with Korrie--we're so much better off knowing you! great review, and darn it, you should get some new shoes for helping us all find new/better shoes.<br />I am a year round flip flop girl....

It's probably something to do with the fact that I spend 10 + hours a day on my feet, five days a week. The podiatrist told me to wear asics as they have the best support, but my feet still hurt. I like the look of the Clark's ones, even though I don't normally get on with toe posts.

That said, I woke up this morning with feet hurting - spent most of yesterday in the garden with 99ยข flat flip flops (my reasoning was if they got too much mud on them, I'd throw them away). Your hard lesson learned is a good point for all of us - we need to not just buy, but wear, good shoes for our feet. As a retired ballet dancer, I should know better. One of my nieces had plantars fasciitis and had surgery that helped. She still prefers Clark's shoes above all others for comfort. Glad you found some you like - the Clark's are super cute.
