<p>NJSue, I love my Birks too. I’m wearing them now. I had PF a couple of years ago and it was terrible. I’ve not gone barefooted or worn flip-flops for any appreciable amt. of time since. Don’t won’t to go through that searing pain again. </p>
<p>I wear Birkenstocks,Mephisto (the Helen style…looks like Birks) and Chaco sandals plus Saucony ProGrid Ride running shoes with Super Feet inserts in the summer. When it’s too cold for sandals, I wear Danskos or whatever shoe my Super Feet insoles will go in.<br>
The shoes that are the best for your feet are not cheap but I’m not willing to risk living w/ PF again.</p>
