Naot sandals. Found out about them here--eternally grateful!

Born shoes and sandals.

Athletic shoes==My Asics Gel Cumulus. Like walking on a pillow.
Non-athletic shoes--Ecco. I can walk all day in their pumps, and the sandals are great, too.

For me:

Dansko clogs
Naot sandals
Born boots and sandals

A combination of these plus occasional stretching has kept my chronic plantar faciitis at bay for over a year. I find them all more comfortable and more supportive than tennis shoes, though I like my Asics gels for running or working out.

I like Saucony's if I know I'm going to do a ton of walking that day.

For everyday walking around the neighborhood, etc. I recently bought a pair of Vionic flip flops that I like. They're actually cute and don't look like orthotics but have plenty of support.

Bass Clementine Sandals...I absolutely LOVE them.

Dansko...clogs and boots for winter, sandals for summer.

Papillio (fun colored Birkenstocks) sandals

j-41 and jambu sandals

Sneakers with custom made orthotics. Expensive but worth it.

I get really bad tendonitis if I wear soles that are too soft.

My Dankso clogs are the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever owned. Maybe they're good for standing around, but more than a couple steps and I wish I could get that money back.

I have a narrow foot, high arch (yet low volume), and really prefer / need very flexible soles. My feet are happiest barefoot though.

running shoes: New Balance
athletic sandals: Keen Whisper
sandals: Privos by Clark
casual flats: Keen boat shoes, Anne Klein Flex driving mocs
dress flats: Van Eli, Cole Haan, Ecco
summer heels (2.75" or lower): Coach (even at 50% off they were at the top end of my price range, but oh, so comfy. I am now spoiled!), Anne Klein Flex
heels: Cole Haan, Rockport

Fit flops, I even have boots.

I had a pair of these and thought the sole was too hard. Even after a few years; it never softened enough to be comfortable. I eventually got rid of them.

It must be foot-dependent (as all shoes are, I guess.) I've been buying them for five years, and I wear them pretty much 100% of my non-work time.
