Posh Spice is not alone when it comes to sore feet but many of the foot challenged fashionista, unlike Victoria, are turning to granny sandals for comfort. MIA Shoes have become very popular sellers this season. However it is to Germany and Worishofer we need to look to find the real ‘Belle of the catwalk’ in sensible shoes. Worishofer’s cork wedges and grandma styling has become a must with Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kirsten Dunst already they have been seen around wearing these fabby new ‘ortho’ shoes. Guaranteed to give a comfortable perambulate to those celebrities prone to ‘sore feet.’ Apparently the great Danny Kaye was obsessive about comfortable feet and would only wear comfortable sandals to protect his feet. Seems the Hollywood gliteratti is now following in his footsteps.

Hi There

Check out Baer shoes of Germany and Wolky (of Holland?) shoes made on a foot shaped last, and the Wolky work with the heel rocker of the foot, with removable footbeds. Also Brasher have produced a walking shoe (and a boot) which is so old fashioned reminding me of my childhood shoes. They are plug ugly but they are so comfortable, plenty of wiggle room even with thicker socks. I find that most walking footwear is too narrow and gives my Morton's neuroma hell no matter how I lace them or what insoles or orthotics I use - but the Brashers are fab

Cheers
