Yup, while my major foot surgery in 2004 put an end to cheap shoes for me - my increasing knee/hip issues make a good fit even more imperative. I've very high arches, a wide toe-box + narrow heels so it's always been a challenge. Yesterday I discovered The Walking Company and their exclusive clogs with built-in orthotics that pretty much make me feel like I'm walking on clouds and they are no more expensive than the shoes I've been wearing over the years. It's early days yet, but frankly, so far the built in metatarsal orthotic already feels better than the $400 custom ones I had made a couple years back by a podiatrist.

Oh yes, they even have SANDALS made with the same internal orthotics
