These Shoes are Made for Walkin'

After living in Arizona for 3 years, I'm finding it difficult to wear real shoes again.  The skin on the back of my heels has become very soft and unaccustomed to anything against it.

But recently I have been dealing with some chronic knee problems.  My Naturopath Physical Therapist recommended I get some really supportive shoes and wear them all the time - especially when doing things on my feet, ie cooking meals, doing dishes, and of course walking. 

Since my heels are such wimps now it has been difficult to get used to shoes again, but it sure has been worth it.  I have so much less leg and knee pain.

So under recommendation from my Doctor and from me I bring you the ultimate in comfort - Keen shoes! The molded foot bed has great arch support and my legs and knees feel so much better. Plus, these shoes are sooo comfortable.

  I ended up getting these green "Portola" style ones because they were on sale at onlineshoes.com at 40% off!  I think they are running out of available sizes in this style. 

I had previously gotten a different style at REI but it had a bulkier back and in combination with my tender heels I kept getting blisters :(

  While shopping in a different pair of shoes the other night I realized what a difference - my legs fatigued much faster and the next morning my knees hurt.  So I guess I will be wearing these Keens during all waking hours for the rest of my life!
