They climatized! My husband wears shorts year round and my folks from the inland valley think he's absolutely nuts! lol... Sunny California hasn't been all that sunny lately.

I'm a vet and am on my feet all day
I'm a vet too but after all that marching I did I find I like sitting around barefoot.

It's just as bad for those of us who wear small shoes.. 5 1/2 is my size, and I get told they don't make my size any more, they send them to the border states etc. as excuses as to why they don't carry my size. I get told to go look in the kiddie section for my shoes...I'm 57 I don't want kiddie shoes or to buy a size bigger. I want adult shoes that don't pinch my toes, or rub my heels or are spiked heels (what ever happened to sinciple 1.5 inch pumps), ones that make my feet look nice not clunky, not funky or ugly.
Or I get told to order them off the internet...only problem with that is you can't try before you buy and that means you can't judge their fit, comfort or looks, and sizes are not consistant.

CROCs rock. I wore them the other day on a 2-mile walk and I couldn't believe how great my feet felt. Better than sneakers, better than barefoot. They don't even let your feet sweat somehow!
I got them for my kids too now.

I don't buy shoes anymore unless they're comfortable enough for me to stand to be in them for a whole day. It's a unisex issue: "You can't be happy when your feet are sad."

(actually, I have two and use them. I'm not lazy, just sleepy.)

"You can't be happy when your feet are sad." LOL! Sounds like the footwear corollary to "Nothing goes right when your underwear's tight."

My Birkies are the most comfortable shoes I own! Amen. I love mine. I fell in love back when I was a tree-huggin' college student. I couldn't find a pair of hiking boots that wouldn't put blisters on top of blisters. I still have scars from that abuse. It got to the point were I'd just hike in my birks they were so comfy.
I really like the current trend toward mules and slides. I love not having 'shoe' rub on my heels. My current favorite pairs is a casual Friday shoe: Luchesse's "Charlie One Horse" Slides. They're just yummy.

Oh, I see it now. :) Thanks. Yeah their website doesn't have much on there. I assume you have to write or call them to get a catalog?
To: Kaylee Frye
Probably. It's a small company in Pennsylvania. I found them at a veterinary conference I had to attend.
