I have flat feet. My podiatrist can't stress that enough. Like the flattest he's ever seen. He's compelled to remind me during every visit.

But anyway, the point is I need significant arch support nearly at all times. I can't wear shoes around the house, and sometimes my ugly feet need fresh air and a spring breeze, regardless of how much none of you want to see them.  So based on a friend's recommendation (who is also cursed with arch-challenged trotters) and approval from my foot doc, I wrangled me a pair of Vionic Ryders.

Amazing. I wear these more often than I change my underwear. TMI? Worth it, just as much as my happy feet are worth these sandals.
