Hi Susan
I am glad that you mentioned the Birkenstock sandals. They wear forever and are excellent for your feet.
I also wear Mephisto sandals, they have a slightly more elevated heel which feels better on my lower back, and like Birkenstock's they never wear out. I have one pair that is 12 years old and is still in excellent shape.
Birkenstock also makes a good arch support which they fit to your foot; this is good for your long distance walking shoes, and they cost a fraction of the custom made ones. My physician recommended them.
I just had a gift certificate given to me for a foot massage and this was like being in heaven. The treatment was for one hour and it was the most relaxing thing I had done in a long time.
I also wore a lot of high heels for walking, and now I just keep them for going out.
Have a nice day Susan, and take care of your feet.
