I, too, injured the ball of my foot, my big toe joint and my ankle a few years ago and can no longer wear high heels unless they are wedges with lots of under-foot support. I have found that, since wearing some orthotic supports, Birkenstocks and also Skechers to exercise the joints, my flexibility has improved a lot. When you've had so much discomfort with your feet, you eventually get to the stage when comfort is more important than beauty. I'd happily wear shoes like this - I can soon switch to more beautiful, less sensible, shoes when I go out but, since I work from home much of the time, shoes like these are brilliant. I wish things were different, but ten years on from my accident, that isn't going to happen!When I injure my foot and ankle a couple of years ago I bought a pair of Mary Jane type trainer shoes from Clarks as they were the only shoes I could get on my feet. They are not a style I would normally buy but I have to say I have worn them with jeans or joggers in the house or going for walks as they are so comfy. I would not buy these clog things as for me shoes with no back support are not safe to walk in especially someone with foot problems.
Hi Madmax can you please tell me what the dreaded HS is as I am all for a bargain. lolNot only are they very unattractive to look at but I have brought far better value on the dreaded HS.
As someone who suffers with her feet I know the "value" of a good fitting pair of shoes and these just don't hit the mark, and as Bettyboo has already said having no back is a big NO NO for me and many others with foot and balance problems.
I have just had a quick look at the other styles Q are offering and they don't seem to be any better and VERY over priced in my ever so humble opinion.
Wonder, with it being a premiere range, if the Q had a modest stock level, as they do seem to be selling quite quickly. Does anyone know how the sizes fit? I go down a size in Birkis, and these look as if the same could apply.
