They had quite a few recommendations of comfortable and supportive footwear (including sandals) in which you can fit orthotics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-72103 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:26:57 +0000 Debbie 72103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered them in pewter from Hush Puppies.com. zappos was out of them in my size.</p> <p>I am keeping my fingers crossed!</p> <p>Thanks for all the help.

The footbed is amazing.<br /> I also like cciele's suggestion - I wear my dress superfeet (half length) with this Privo style:<br /> <a href="http://www.footwearetc.com/Privo-by-Clarks/Hop-Red-Patent-Leather.html?gdftrk=gdfV269_a_7c99_a_7c174_a_7c20_d_779" rel="nofollow">http://www.footwearetc.com/Pri.....7c20_d_779</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-71587 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 00:22:32 +0000 cciele 71587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm... maybe you can put an orthotic in something like:</p> <p>Privos<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7416655/color/655" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7416655/color/655</a></p> <p>Palladium<br /> <a href="http://www.6pm.com/product/7347844/color/423" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/product/7347844/color/423</a></p> <p>Or other sporty Mary Jane type shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-71580 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 00:10:37 +0000 Debbie 71580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris</p> <p>I did not know it is ok to wear Converse with clamdiggers? I have a pair of navy and gray low tops. Does Angie know you wear that combo? LOL! If is ok, you just solved my dilemma!</p> <p>Marianne:</p> <p>which ones do you wear say with clamdiggers with your superfeet inside?</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-71549 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:51:25 +0000 marianne 71549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie, have you tried comfort sandals like Ecco, Naot or Mephisto? Many of them have great arch support. I don't wear custom orthotics, but I use Superfeet, and it's quite comparable. Just a thought - if you can't do without orthotics, then just ignore my comment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-71546 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:47:16 +0000 Chris 71546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the Cons a low top or high top? </p> <p>How about a new pair of low top Converse in a nice summery color? Linen white or a bright? You could wear with clams or walk shorts at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-71536 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:01:47 +0000 Debbie 71536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bump for more help please---thanks shiny and chewy----- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-71457 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:29:42 +0000 shiny 71457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if these are YLF approved BUT this weekend, while at an art opening that was a dressed up, chi-chi affair, I saw this absolutely stunning, stylish woman who was probably in her mid- to late-70s, and she was wearing sneaks kinda like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7351757/color/24291" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7351757/color/24291</a></p> <p>What made it work was that she wore long black bootcut pants that were hemmed to perfect PPL and so covered up most of the sneaker. She was also wearing a black top, interesting silver jewelry, and her hair was cut short, chic, and funky and was an amazing shade of silver. She was uber-polished and just looked great. The shape of the shoes was just interesting enough they did not look orthopedic or overly athletic. The problem with this is that I'm not sure it would necessarily work with anything other than black sneaks and black pants?</p> <p>Edit to add: she was also wearing a bright turquoise scarf tied around her neck. That was one of the best details. I remember thinking to myself that's exactly the sort of outfit and haircut I want to copy and wear when I'm that age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-71447 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:59:16 +0000 chewyspaghetti 71447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say go for the Converse with a linen pant and a colorful woven top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-have-to-wear-orthoticssupportive-shoes-but-want-to-look-fab#post-71440 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:17:57 +0000 Debbie 71440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could someone describe a no-brainer outfit that would look good in Wash DC where I have to wear sneakers with support for walking 8 hour days?</p> <p>This is my ultimate fashion challenge. I seem to have a mental block about it or am making it harder than it is.</p> <p>Challenges:<br /> orthotic must fit in shoe with insole covering it (usually this means some type of fashion sneaker or running sneaker)<br /> must be able to wear no-show socks</p> <p>(PS I will take my brulee gladiators for times when I am not walking a lot. They are very comfy for me, but not for walking long distances when I need the support)</p> <p>(PSS I own gray Converse and my orthotics fit in them with a pad over them but what to wear with them in summer?)<br /> Thank you for de-mystifying this for me! </p>
