After 4 years of wearing UGGs boots and mocassins I have finally bought me a dream shoes! Those wich are nurses wearing. $110 a pair. I wore them yesterday and I thought I would sleep in them! So cozy, comfy and all.
Today I am wearing it and in 2 hours I was like OMG! I have to get those off. My feet hurten like heck. And I just took them off after being in pain on and of since 3am.
Will my feet ever learn to wear real shoes? Or should I return those while I can get money back?

Have you every gone to a specialy shoe store and been properly measured/fitted?
It costs a bit more, but cheaper than a chiropracter or foot surgeon down the road.

My most comfortable footwear brand is still Columbia. Every pair of boots and every pair of sneakers I've had from them I've worn to the point they get ratty and full of holes and tears.

Many stores allow you to return shoes after they have been worn. No harm in trying.

Thanks first of all, $100 for shoes is not really all that much....second, you should have worn the shoes around your house for a while to see if they fit....third, Danskos are not real shoes - they are blocks people put on their feet

And how is that $100 shoes not much for single mother? Have you divorced a cashbag and living large on alimony?

Hey For people who spend countless hours on their feet, Danskos are a godsend. I couldn't bake for 10 hours a day wearing kitten heels, let alone 6" heels. And just remember, I'm leaving your pretty feet in the dust during the zombie apocalypse...hope your flesh is as sweet as your shoes.

Have you divorced a cashbag and living large on alimony? no it's not if you want comfortable fashionable shoes. and let's see, no I didn't get alimony and oh yeah, I didn't even get child support - the arrears were at $101K when I decided to have it stop accruing.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I was a nurse for many years and I've never heard of Care Giver. I wore either Merrell or Keen. Heck, I still do.

Define real shoes. JMO, but being able to walk and stand not in pain is a higher priority to me than wearing what some people call real shoes. Yes good supportive shoes are pricey. I buy Orthofeet for work, but what brand works for you is totally going to depend on your foot. Getting fitted is a great idea.

It pays to take care of them now, get the right shoes and the right fit. Also, keep the circulation going to them! Yoga is good for that.

IMO not even all Dansko's are created equally.
If the shoes were dreamy on the first day, don't you think they ever will be again? It sounds to me like you over did it, the first day. Your feet need time to adjust. But that's just my opinion.

Care Giver is a Timberland shoe. But, you overpaid for the shoes. And they look like Crocs. If you bought them at a reputable shop, they should be willing to send them back. But if you bought them at a discount or budget shop they don't usually take them back if they've been worn because they can't re-sell them. If they won't take them back, send a letter to the company. I think Timberland would make it right.
I think of the Croc style shoes the same way I think of flip flops - sandy beach shoes, but not at all every day shoes.
For $100 I want leather on my feet!!! I would wear the old style 'apres ski' Ugg boots every single day if I could - it's like wearing comfy slippers. Maybe a pair in every color. But I don't like the new stuff they are doing, so that won't happen.
My DD wears flats a lot & we finally found a brand with nice arch support and padding on the inside - Reef brand at about $55 a pair.
Born shoes are also quite nice in flats or heels (but not BOC Bjorn shoes - BOC is their cheaper brand). You need to shop the sales for them. Flats run about $100.

I agree about the leather.
