Just a quick post to show you what I found over at OnlineShoes.com. The Dansko Naomi floral sandal is on sale for $89.99 with free shipping and returns. Read what the customers wrote; not a bad review in the bunch!

Shortly after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 27 (12 years ago--you do the math), I began to wear custom orthotics due to structural changes in my feet. I had a tough time finding anything other than New Balance sneakers to accommodate my new orthotics. I tried taking out the flimsy inserts in my Aerosoles and Hush Puppies to try to make room for them, but I found my foot wouldn't fit properly into the shoes. There were few fashionable alternatives to the New Balance mainstay, so I put up with the pain of my regular shoes when I needed to dress up a bit. Brands like PW Minor were my only option and, well, "option" is a relative term. Eventually I elected to have surgery to fuse the bones in my forefoot and no longer need orthotics...but I've been there, believe me!
I had never heard of Kumfs of New Zealand back then and even if I had, I doubt they would have had the selection that they have now in 2008. The footbed is made of memory foam but is fully removable. I present to you four of their more stylish models that accommodate orthotic inserts:
Casual Dress: Kumfs Farah in red patent 
Sporty "Skechers-like" sneaker: Kumfs Xtract in black floral

Reduce your Carbon Footprint when you wear shoes from Simple's Green Toe line. The Toe Stir is a completely vegan shoe containing no animal by-products.
The innovative designers of the Toe Stir took natural fibers like hemp, cotton and bamboo, added recycled products such as paper pulp and car tires and created a cute and feminine ankle-strap flat. And flat is really a misnomer as the cushioned footbed is supportive and removable to accommodate an orthotic.
With car tires for soles, I should think you'd get some good mileage out of these. $80 at Simpleshoes.com; free ground shipping.

Update 1/29/09: I'm now the happy owner of the J-41 Journey sporty wedge, read my two "on the foot" reviews: 1. red pair 2. blackberry pair
Zappos classifies the J-41 Journey under "sporty wedges." That term does not fall well on my ears for some reason, therefore I would suggest, "Apre-sport" shoes. Use it in a sentence? Ok! After hiking the trails and heading back to the lodge for a massage and pedicure, I don my J-41 Journey apre-sport peep-toes to show off my pretty toenails.
The J-41 Journey earns 5 stars for comfort (and style) from many satisfied customers at Zappos.
