I have always had difficulty finding shoes - I have a high arch, a wide front and a narrow/regular heel and wear a size 9.5 or 10. So when I first started looking for shoes for my trip, it was hard. I found a pair of Rykas online that are comfy but don't give me a huge amount of support, and a pair of Brooks that I like but I'm not crazy about.
Then yesterday I went to a shoe store here in Duluth (thank you, MNAnnie for the heads up!) and found a pair of Oboz Bozeman Low Leather shoes that fit like a dream and feels incredibly supportive! I was attracted to its looks first - it's leather with a sort of "mountain-town" look (stole that from their website - it's a good description) and does not look like your typical gym shoe. So I tried them on. They fit comfortably yet snugly, had a nice arch (with a very supportive insole), room for my toes and best of all, looked really good on my feet - in fact, they made my feet look smaller, imho!
This morning I wore them outside - went for a long walk and by the time I got home my initial crush had developed into a deep love! I can't describe how good they feel on my feet and they look great!
Obviously, YMMV, but I was just so thrilled to find a pair of shoes that I love so much that I just had to come and tell you all. And they come in both men and women's sizes. In fact, I wore them to the dentist this morning and as I was leaving, one of the male dentists came up and said, "I like your shoes." I looked over and he was holding out his foot with the exact same shoe but in a different color. GMTA, I guess. :)
