If I needed such a pair, I'd take a look at John Lobb.

Whites are good for boots, but they do have not much in the way of shoes. I have had 4 pairs of Whites. However their heels are very high, and I do not understand the advantage. Next I will probably use Hoffman Boots, also in Idaho.

Also Hoffman boots, Franks Boots, JK Boots, Nicks Handmade boots.

So what's supposed to happen to your feet after age 60?

You watched a 29 minute AI video and are in a kerfuffle?

You could ask your GP, a podiatrist, a Neurologist (guessing here because I’m never watching that crappy video), or a physical therapist.

Good luck, whatever your concerns are.

You do not need to se11 your yacht. You get what you pay for. Most of today'shoes are made of cardboard and come from china. John Lobb as mentioned earlier is a good option. If you have diabetes or problems with your feet they are well worth it. You also have to take care of them by polishing them regularly and wearing golashes in wet weather. Problems with your feet can be expensive.

Hi SynthPlayer:
Go to Road Runner Sports (www.RoadRunnerSports.com), they have stores in the Bay Area.

Let them put you on the treadmill and analyze your walk, jog, running gait. They will suggest shoes that fit your needs based on how your feet, ancles, calf, knees, and hips interact and move together.

They also have insoles that are shaped to your feet.

I have been using them since late 80s early 90s. Based on my back and spine injuries, I go for max stability in my shoes and max cushion custom fitted insoles. The shoes I wear have internal railings for lack of a better term that help me retain balance.

They have a (family) membership program that actually is worth getting, look at the benefits.

I can't say enough positive things about Road Runner Sports, before I found them walking was painful. Since I started using their insoles and picking shoes that counteract the bad form I have due to injuries, I've been pain free walking.

Check out Topo Athletics, Road Runner Sports carries them among others. I just got my first pair a month ago and like them so far. They're foot shaped but not too clown shoe looking. The more you research foot shaped shoes the more you'll wonder why we stuff our feet into the shapes we do.
