Where To Find Volks Walkers?

[CarinaBCLC]

There was a message posted a while back (and of course I can't find it!)
regarding Volks Walkers Sandals. I haven't been able to find a pair. Does
anyone know where to buy them? If you do - please email me. I'm going to
Disneyland tomorrow and need something to help me on my feet all day! Thanks!

I think someone said Naturlizers (sp). When I checked my loal store they said
they don't carry them. Have Fun.

Hi, Carina... I know it's tempting, but if I were you, I wouldn't take a chance
on NEW shoes of any kind for a trip like that! Afraid I don't know where to
get the Volks Walkers... would tell you if I did. Did you try a search on the
internet? Might be some main office that you can ask where a local dealer in
your area is.

Have a great time, and sit and rest whenever possible. That's what always
helps me.

Best regards,
LadyAndy2

Carina-Dont be ashamed to ask for a wheelchair or other device to help you
through this. Sometimes something as simple as a cane/walking stick, can make a
major difference in how fatiqued you become. So dont be too proud to ask for
something if you need it.

Lady Andy,

I did try searching the internet - no luck! But you have a really good point in
that I probably shouldn't try a new pair of shoes out on a long day at
Disneyland. Maybe instead I should sit when my feet hurt. My denial and search
for a miracle cure still hits me every once in a while, but I think I've
snapped out of it just in time :)

Thanks for the post!

Take Care,
Carina

Carina definitely get a chair- there is lots of walking and if you go with
someone else you don't want to hold them back cuz you are grumpy and in pain.
Besides it will make it MUCH more enjoyable for you..

OK, I give up. what are Volks Walkers? Are they something you wear on a
Volksmarch? If so, did they make the WalkList Shoe Poll? (No, I'm not joking:
check out http://www.webwalking.com/shoepoll.htm.
And the list has all my favorites: SAS, Teva, Clarks.) But seriously -- if
somebody can tell me what they are, I'll try hunting for them on the WWW,
whether they are animal, vegetable, or mineral.

Hi Judith,

There are sandals (I think something like Birkenstocks). I gave up looking and
bought the Birkenstocks instead! Thanks to everyone who answered my post! BTW,
Disneyland was fun - but it's two days later and my feet still hurt!! Thank God
my daughter is only 3 and for now, and she gets tired pretty quick too!

Carina:

Glad you had fun at Disneyland! And how do you like the Birkenstocks? I'm
looking for something dressier than my Tevas...

I love my Birkenstocks, Judith, but I don't know about the dressy part. The
ones I have are sandals. I have seen a catalog of their "whole" shoe (and
sandal) styles and have been contemplating trying a full shoe for the fall
and winter this year. Even with the full shoe look though it appears more
like a clog than "dressy" shoe.
Course the lady who gave me the idea to try Birkenstocks also if full of
wonderful fashion advice - our own Carol Down (I really love her ideas) :)

when i checked out their website a while back, i noticed that you could buy
just the insoles to be put into other shoes. anyone tried that? (i'm thinking
you could find a pair of dressy-but-wide shoes and put the cork in them <g>).

Heck -- I've been known to wear my Tevas with a suit. (And coordinating hose,
of course. ) It was that or not go to work. So for me, Birkenstocks would be
positively dressy!

Judith,

Well, I've only worn them twice and they definitely seem more comfortable than
my other shoes. It's all relative for me though, cause my feet always hurt!! I
personally don't think they're very attractive (no offense anyone!) but at this
point - I don't care anymore!!

Take care,

Carina

Lately I'm wearing my Ecco lace up shoes every day. They're great when my feet
are all swollen up... can actually fit in them even with thick socks on. The
white ones are close enough to tennis shoes to be able to pass... kind of look
like boxer's shoes (only not high tops... my fat ankles don't like those).

Best regards,
LadyAndy2

Carina-But that is the point. They feel more comfortable. To hell with fashion.
(But have you seen the big clunky, chunky shoes that are so popular now? Straight
out of the 70s! They were ugly then, and they still are now. (but I remember
wearing them.)
So wear what feels best on your feet. My own favorites at the moment are a pair
of sneakers with big long tongues that stick up. I have elastic laces in the
shoes so they just slip on and off. They look awful, but they cushion my feet, yet
give me good footing which is important, because of the crutches, I still have to
use when I am away from home for any reason.

I know this is a very old thread but if anyone is still looking...a selection of volks walker sandals can be found here. http://www.canadianfootwear.com/browse;cat,86582;Volkswalkers

I bought a pair earlier this week at a local store in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada (Green Lee Shoes http://greenleeshoe.com/) and loved then so much I went back and bough another pair two days later to wear indoors.

I have a pair and mine are a comfy walking shoe. The most comfortable shoe you'll ever own. A bit pricey but worth every penny. Usually you can get them in Victoria B.C Canada.
