Searching for Metatarsil Buttons

I got my metatarsal buttons at a chain called "shoes n feet". Don't remember the brand, but it was made in Germany.
Any good shoe store should have them. Nordstrom's might. Maybe?

Oh, and if you have a pair of sandals with a really supportive and contoured footbed like Birkenstocks or Chacos, the metatarsal arch support is pretty much "built in" so no buttons are necessary. (if you stick a button on top of a met arch support, it will be uncomfortable)

That would explain why I didn't get numb toes when I went kayaking last weekend in my new water sandals... Neato! Originally Posted by KnottedYet

That's good to know - right now i just have inexpensive regular joe sandals, which probably isn't helping matters any - but i'll definitely remember that when i buy some good ones. Thanks Knotted Originally Posted by KnottedYet

I glanced briefly at the title of this thread without paying too much attention and read it as "Searching for Mental Institutions."
Maybe I need lunch.
