Trial (and error) update.

Based on the recommendations here, I tried several pairs of shoes. I discovered a brand that was a total game-changer and a brand that was severely over hyped and totally awful (as least as it pertains to my feet)

The caveat: my feet are pancake flat. If they were a state, they would be Florida. Except not nearly as attractive. I do strength exercises for them all the time and constantly stretch my soleus and gastroc. But, at a certain point, it s what it is.

The Worst:

Deckers X-Scape

Pros: They look great. Some of the best looking kicks out there.
Cons: Totally uncomfortable after about twenty minutes. (give or take ten) Just miserable. And really, really expensive. If you have flat feet, DON'T BUY THESE SHOES. You will regret it.

The Best:

Chacos. To whomever suggested these in the thread, thank you!!! They have been an absolute game-changer.

Pros: Everything. They look great. And, most importantly, they give my battered arches the support they need. Their "Love" soles are so comfortable, I put them in my cycling shoes, and my calluses vanished.

Cons: None. You should get them.
