Just got some Okabashi shoes
they are summer sandals with knobs in the arch to help stimulate acupressure points. I usually have trouble with sandals, as they don't give me enough arch support, but these really do-even sitting down, my feet feel better! And they are USA made.

Has anyone else tried these? They have a website at www.okabashi.com with full information.

3. I was surprised at their comfort
I usually have trouble getting shoes to fit, what with a high arch and one foot wider than the other due to broken bones healing improperly. But these shoes didn't need "breaking in". I hope they last a long time.

5. No, but I just got my first pair of Earth Shoes since 1976
and they're even uglier than they were then, but my feet feel like they're in heaven, so I don't care.
