Totally off topic but not sure where else to ask.... Best shoes for nurses or a profession who is on your feet a lot? I've spent my 9 year nursing career in various...
I have these: Slip Resistant Polyurethane outsoles engineered to provide a natural rocker walking motion. Stain Resistant leather upper. Structured, flat, and stable outsoles that also promote perfect posture thus reducing stress on muscles and joints. Removable (and replaceable!) footbeds (also called insoles) constructed of cork, memory foam and latex which creates a perfect fit by forming to the natural contours of your foot. (Footbeds are also removable for your custom orthotics!) Superior arch support. Generous toe box to reduce metatarsal pressure Many unique patterns http://www.alegriashoeshop.com/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=PAL-218

I'm not a nurse, but as a hairstylist I stand for 8+ hours a day in my Danskos. My OBGYN and chiropractor (concidentally stopped having to go once I started wearing my Danskos) both gave them the highest accolades. My feet never hurt, not even the tops. Von Maur might cost about $25 more than Aldo's for the same pair. There's also a Chesser shoe store on n. Coldwater rd. that carries Danskos.

I looked once at Von Maur and they had them but they seemed more like casual shoes. Although 6 pm has these that I kinda like.....http://www.6 pm.com/merrell-encore-slide-pro-grip-castle-rock-patent
I'm in need of new shoes. Where would one go to get a good pair of running shoe?
Will D. replied:
If your looking to find one fit for your specific running style I recommend going to the Running company in Fort Wayne. It's off of Parnell I believe by Chipotle. I went there an they test your running stride and fit you with a shoe that will help keep you from injury. Was having trouble with my knees on long runs. After going there they told me I was using the wrong shoe and helped fix the problem.

My Faulkner family was prominent in Rockford also. Let me know if you see any mentions of them in your research, please.

I'm new to the site. Is there anywhere actually IN Fort Wayne that sells vegan shoes?
Thanks.
Fort I. replied:
Sorry I don't. But, you may want to bring that up to the group. I've kind of gotten away from this site and set-up a fwveg group page where people can easily interact with others and ask & answer questions. Post the question to the group by joining us at https://www.facebook.com/groups/fortwayneveg/

I ordered these fair-trade, vegan shoes from Ethiopia, but it would be nice to have something a little closer. http://www.solerebelsfootwear.co/collections/b-knd-vegan/products/runaround-full-on-black
Would you share with me your favorite place to get organic, unbleached onesies for your newborn baby?
AND/OR share your favorite place to get unbleached, cloth,...

I was pregnant with Aldan when I purchased mine and since I wasn't in a hurry and wouldn't use it until my cycle returned, I actually ended up finding mine at babysteals.com for half off. But, would definitely recommend a menstrual cup. :)
REALLY not a holistic question, but... where is a good place to get good, cute, not super expensive shoes?
Kristyand C. replied:
For yourself? Or children shoes? I know you may think this is a bit pricey, but I bought a pair at Fred Tongues (not sure of the spelling) cost was $110, but has been great support shoe - that I wear daily. Otherwise I do consider searching at TJ Maxx, Marshalls also.
Not a holistic specific question- is there a store in FW that has a good selection of pediped children's shoes? I think VanMaur has some but just a small selection.
