I hear you! I’ll still continue to look for a more long-lasting solution but this was a way I could support my feet now without spending 100 more dollars in search of THE perfect shoe.

I’m from Wisco and something that changed the way I survive winter is getting a heated mattress pad. It’s so nice not to get into a freezing cold bed plus my cats love it.

I also work on my feet, have sensitive, narrow feet with high arches, and spent a lot of time and money in search of the perfect shoe. What I’ve recently found is that most shoes are suitable if you get a good insert for them. I wore thrift store Walmart brand Chelsea’s for months just fine (recently upgraded for unrelated reasons) because I had a nice Dr. Scholl’s insert that worked for me. May not be a cure-all for others but it’s worth spending $12-15 to see whether your current shoes can be improved.
