Another hand raised here for frustration in shoe shopping. My right big toe joint has both a bunion and arthritis. Many high heels put pressure on the joint and ballerina style flats cut directly across the joint and are painful. So I have one pair of well made sandal style heels with about a 2" heel that are comfortable (I actually got them a thrift store). I also have some open sandal like shoes with a broad heel made by Clark's. Surprisingly I found a pair of inexpensive, comfortable ballerina flats that have a more soft and stretchy border instead of rigid border around the opening at Pay Less, but they don't have much support. But 90% or more of all women's shoes hurt my feet.
