Hello friends. I need help and advise from whoever's free to read this thread xD

So I only wear wedge sandals and shoes and the brand that I really liked growing up is not delivering overseas so... I'm on a hunt for a new partner in life. I heard Aerosoles are really comfy, but I want to know if it's light on the feet. Most of the wedge sandals I've tried are too heavy. Has anyone tried Aerosoles? Also, does anyone have other suggestions?

here are a few cute ones from Aerosoles:

While I know they look cute and all.....my podiatrist recommended to my mom never to wear these type of shoes....they are terrible on women's feet especially the arches and put undue pressure on both the metatarsals/toe bones and also lead to excruciating knee pain later in life due to extra pressure on the knee cap from these weird shoes......
I would go with something flat like a simple flat woman's shoe without outrageous weird heels......better to have health in later life than to look cool in youth and then suffer arthritis when you're old ......comfort over looks is my M.O. always.....

Anyway I'm no shoe aficionado but those are my 2 cents....

I'm with ultimatum.... but I'm old. And a guy.

Seriously, I think that anything over about a 2" heel is too high, and bad for your health...

But at times there's no way to get around wearing 4" lol...healthy or not.

I can't help you either. My feet are both so deformed, and deformed differently, I am limited to Birkenstock sandals with 2 wide straps, UGG winter boots and slippers.

Its been a long time since I could wear shoes like the ones in the OP!

Buy a pair and try them out it's the only way you will know for sure if they work for you or not.

So I did go to their store and tried them. They're really soft and easy to walk in. I didn't find the model I found online, but I found something better xD. I really like it actually and I think it's gonna last me a few years. I'm a one-shoe kind of person and try to wear just one pair that matches whatever I decide to wear lol, easier that way.

What ultimatum said did kinda bother me so here's a few exercise tips for those who wear heels xD

My daughter loved to wear combat boots - I never understood it myself but each of us has our own style. I used to call them her butt kicking boots. lol
When I was a young man, I used to wear work boots all the time, I think. Later, though, I switched to what we used to call tennis shoes, which I've worn ever since, except to church.

To be honest.. I cannot stand that kind of heel lol!! Im always about kneehigh boots so I think Im the wrong person.
Aeresoles make u walk weird and in my opinion, make you looks like your walking on bricks. I had one set that was kinda like that but I just couldnt handle it.
The only good thing that I find about them is that theyre all comfy
thats just my opinion tho

I used to wear combat boots too when I wore a younger man's uniform.

just a personal share:
if I wore a pair of "7 to 9" heels, I would be well on my way to being 7feet tall, no thanks...
a few years ago I discovered some shoes called 'skechers', and they have been a real life saver for me,
because I have a very high arch an very narrow feet...they are a shoe for those who have good
balance and who try and walk a lot...because of their design, they also build up your calves because
of the way they are made and the different way they make you walk...you can often find them on sale,
and I have found quite a few in 'thrift stores' for a very low price, they were just like new...
