My favorite footwear is no footwear at all. I'm a bare footin' person. But if I must wear something on my feet, I choose Teva Olowahus (I call them "double straps")  I've purchased 5 pair now. I always have a new black pair that I wear to parties with a nice pedicure. Excellent cushioning and good arch support (really!), comes in lots of colors.  If Teva ever decides to stop making these I am going to find the person responsible!
