Follow-Up: The Never-Ending Search

According to my mom, all the shoes I posted are ugly. I can't say I disagree. I just thought they were maybe a little less ugly than some other really orthopedic, clunker sandals. I have a new prospect:

'Air Bria Stretch Thong' by Cole Haan, $149. A little pricey, but I thought these had such potential that I actually ordered them. From Zappos - free returns. They have 3/4" heel and Nike Air Technology for "ultimate cushioning." They come in pretty colors too! If the black works out, I may go back for the vintage silver.



I also took a closer look at these:



The 'Jody' slide also by Cole Haan, $129. I though the other ones looked more supportive. These have an "anatomically designed footbed," but no Nike Air Tech.



How do we feel about these:

Timberland Kelby Thong, $79. These feature "Comforia™ contoured, multi-density footbed for all-day comfort and support."





The only reader suggestions I got were Birkenstocks and Crocs. Thanks Jim, but nay to both, I think. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!

No Birks or Crocs? Hey fashion aint always pretty. But I like first Cole Haans you ordered.

Well, the Cole Haans were ok, but not fabulous enough to justify the money. I'm happy to get my $150 back. I'm about to give up and flop around in my havaianas.

Counsin Frank's shoes didn't make the list? That's no way to get a freebie
