Did it. I found a pair of shoes that will do. Sounds simple. Isn't.
My feet are wide. Then there's the matter of the bunion and the high arch. So yeah Walmart shoes are more than not going to do for my feet.
I found a small shop in the small town where I go to Water Aerobics. Its not my kind of shop and its not my kind of shoe. The shop is a gym that also sells athletic clothing, including shoes. Shoes for runners. My body is not made for running. But something to think about: runners need support and cushioning when they pound that pavement with their fast feet. I need support and cushioning with my slow feet. Perfect match. The bill for the shoes was not pretty but my toes no longer smash into each other when I walk. Relief.
The photo is my pretty boy Beau Teak. He was enjoying some sunshine this afternoon. I intruded by snapping his photo.

That is a wonderful photo of Beau Teak. Glad you found a pair of shoes. That was my biggest problem when I lived in Latvia all the shoes I could afford seemed to not fit right and the rest were too expensive. Now in Florida I have a bunch of Crocs in various colors.

@RasmaSandra I've never tried Crocs though I know they are popular. It hurts when the toes are crowded.

@RasmaSandra Do Crocs have cushion and support for the feet?

Thank you @BelleStarr I was worrying that my shoes were deforming my toes so yes I am happier now.

I am glad you got shoes! Like you I have shoe problems, I have flat feet and most shoes have high arches.

@andriaperry A doc told me that I have flat feet. I hate it when my toe nails dig into the nearest toes. Hurts and makes it not fun to walk.

Pretty cat. I have to spend more to get shoes that fit me too. But it's worth it.

That's true about running shoes. I have a pair that are like slippers on my feet. They have so much cushioning and feel so lightweight. And I am not a jogger/runner but do use them for walking.
