Need new shoes, gentle, comfy, cushioned shoes/slippers! It's gotten bad- for over a year we've been living in a unit that has polished concrete floors- rugs and mats everywhere. But, can't endure any more, I wake up in the mornings with throbbing feet, I've tried a lot to make it manageable but I obviously just need a new pair shoes/slippers to wear around the house during mornings and nights, something with good cushioning- in an ideal world slip on shoes- but idc, just want out of pain, maybe you think inserts are the answer?? Offer anything that's worked for you and yours- I'll be so grateful! As always, thanks comrades!

Edit: Thank you everyone soooo much! My first move is buying a pair of crocks for around the house, I found a drug store nearby that has the dr.scolls insole machine. And long term will think about a pair of Altra's and look for sales(they are not cheap). Thank you hexbears!!

I have extremely flat feet with bulging arches. Walking barefoot on a tile floor sounds like Squidward walking. I have been buying Hey Dude shoes for several years and I love them. I don't buy any other brand now.
