I sent an earlier message off list - Same goes for me.
In my case I buy a good supportive tennis shoe, but I have swede put on the bottom of the whole shoe. It just works for me. And it also costs about 30-40 depending on who you go to. I have in the past put leather on a vinyl bottomed shoe. Of course, if you have a pair of shoes that work for you - old sneakers, just put duct tape on them. I did that for nine years. It worked just fine.
