Hellacious bunions here, thanks to too many years of high heels. You're not alone with the foot pain problem. I also have very thin soles - feels like the bones are coming right through - and fight corns and calluses constantly. I recently got some walking shoes with memory foam insoles . . . the best thing ever! I didn't take the whole memory foam hype seriously until I got these shoes. I even went back and got a second pair so I could rotate them. Might be worth a try.

I don't know what kind of shoes you got but I buy Skecher slip ons with memory foam and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.
My feet are killing me!!!!!!!!! 70 years old and I just dread walking. I think it is a combination of diabetic neuropathy and osteoarthritis. I am getting with my doctor asap to see what she can do. Anyone else with similar condition?
my feet always burn from diabetic neuropathy. it sucks!.
i am down to pre diabetic levels with no meds but the nerves never healed .
Yes Crocks will help dramatically.
I have a few pairs, both copy cat and name brand Crocks.
I enjoy them but can't wear them to work as there are only one kind with closed toes, and I must have closed toe shoes for work.
For work I wear orthodics I got for diabetics from my podiatrist.
I also have "flip flop " sandals with open toes and wear those all summer, it's the closest I can be to barefoot, which has always been my preference all my life, but isn't practical for all uses.
I have a high arch and with the formed to my feet orthopedic shoes I'm covered.
They make all kinds now, not just the big clunky ones of days of old. I have a black pair of athletic type shoes that pass easily for dress shoes without being actual dress shoes.
Because I'm also disabled I have medicare and Medicare will pay for one pair a year. I bought the sandals and regular sandals for $50 each. I have 3 insoles sets for the dressy athletic shoes and change every quarter ( the original one had worn out and I've gone through the second set, about to wear the third set. The last set will last me until my next pair paid for by medicare.
It's worth the trip to the podiatrist to get them!!!
My only foot problem is the high arch and not having support in shoes, hence the reason barefoot feels better to me. I always hated shoes as they never had enough arch support.
Now with diabetes I don't dare NOT have something...even if I have just the flip flops on.
Go see a podiatrist if you haven't.
Best thing I ever did.
After the age of 50 or you have to measure your feet every time you buy shoes. No one has the same size feet at 70 as they did at 45, though some think they do. I have gone up 1 full size. The other day my sister, a couple years older, mentioned she is 1 1/2 sizes larger.
I'm in my 60s. Various, serious medical issues including diabetes and OA. The only comfortable shoes for me are Crocs. I buy them from the Croc's Online website to make sure I'm not buy knockoffs.
i have no problems running as i run 5 miles every other day to keep my diabetes in check with no meds .
but the tips of my toes can be so sensitive 24/7 .
they feel like the worst sunburn when a sheet hits you . i must keep my feet covered at night or they hurt .
