Hi, person who was born with flat wide feet who has to wear orthotics or will literally break her fragile foot bones here, my shoes are expensive. $500 CDN for the shoes and $250 CDN for the orthotics. Sometimes I get a deal and they take $100 CDN off the cost of the shoes. I'm unemployed, so this is out of pocket expense. I can def add it to my tax return though.
I would never wear running shoes to work, unless I was SPECIFICALLY asked to do that. My work orthotic shoes look like chunky Mary Janes with velcro straps. I'm on Team LACES REALLY SUCK.
My sandals also have velcro, for that same reason. My dad bothers me about this and says that velcro is for people that can't tie their own shoes and kids. Did you know being able to tie your shoes is a benchmark for neurotypicals to tell how much of an adult you are or how smart you are if you're neurodivergent?
I also can't fit into women's boots comfortably. I can only wear mountain boots, even in the winter.
They have laces, and they hurt my feet something terrible. I usually refuse to wear them and wear my clunky Mary Janes instead...bounding over snow drifts like an elephant.
Noone has really thought about making shoes for autistic women with flat and wide feet. No-one even think women HAVE wide feet, because it's typically men that do.
I only have really three pairs of shoes, four if you count the boots from hell. Somehow, being practical with shoes as a women is anathema to actually being a women. :/
