I am pretty sure I have arthritis in all my joints but because I am heavier than I should be I think it is hitting my lower, weight bearing joints the worst. My left ankle is giving me a lot of trouble right now. I have had three severe sprains in it and now that I seem to be giving to my knee a great deal it is acting up as well.
I am a structural hot mess.
So, I am noticing that one pair of shoes that I wear frequently is making things worse for my knees and my ankle. This is them --
I have a pair of Clark's flats that work fairly well -- they are so old I can't find a photo of them!
I have a pair of Grasshopper ortho-lites that feel ok but with my high arches I don't do well in lace up shoes but it seems that if I am not in the ones pictured above, I am in those.
The problem is that I think all of my shoes are making my foot issues worse.
I am thinking of trying Tom's. I need something I can just slip on. I am afraid I inherited my father's feet and he couldn't wear lace -ups either.
Suggestions anybody?

tShame about no lace-ups. I used the loathe them but They are definitely the best for me, I won a pair of Joseph Seibel shoes recently and they've barely been off my feet.
yes, I agree about them being the best thing. I do have one pair that are tolerable so I may be looking for more. It seems that no matter what I do, however, they are only comfortable for a bit and then I am looking for something else. I actually do the best barefooted. Little too old to do that though although I have been doing some reading about "earthing" which is going outside and walking around barefoot and connecting with the earth. Hmmm...Iused to do that all the time as a child! Who knew!
