Need great shoes for travel? I know some feel uneasy about

Edited on Sat Mar-08-08 01:55 PM by yy4me

e-bay but I just bought a great pair of Ecco shoes for 29.99. I saw them last year in the Ecco store near us at a price that is far beyond my limit. There are single sellers and a regular on-line store selling them. Everything from Walking shoes to Golf shoes. I suggest you find a local retailer to see how much these fantastic shoes sell for and keep checking out e-bay for some of the great bargains on Ecco. Plus, and I don't know how she did it, but the pair I bought on Monday from a seller in Maryland was here on Wednesday.

Going to France soon and I have developed Morton's Neuroma in both feet so shoes are now a great problem for me.

1. Yes, get a pair of good shoes.......

I had terrible shoes when I went on my trip. Next time, better shoes (so I don't have to rest when I want to be doing something!) :)

2. I bought some wonderful sandals in England in 2006

The shoes that had worked so well on the flat surfaces of Japan were simply not up to cobblestones. I was getting horrible pain in my knees.

My group had some free time in a small town in England, so I decided to poke around in the stores. I happened upon a shoe store that was having a clearance sale, which meant that the prices were down to U.S. prices in real terms. :-)

Anyway, I mentioned my problem to the saleswoman, and she said that her customers liked sandals by Hotter for tramping around on the Continent (where cobblestones are also a hazard).

These sandals have strong arch support, which is what you need.
