And yes, I do find the styles clunky, but was prepared to compromise just to get out of the sneakers-with-everything trap.<BR/><BR/>I've heard about the Public Trust wills, apparently they charge a lot for executions (of will, that is).<BR/><BR/>nigel:I thought it'd be a lot easier for guys though.Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-55884136249238018392008-03-30T01:13:00.000+13:002008-03-30T01:13:00.000+13:00I've had the worst luck with comfy shoes and have ...I've had the worst luck with comfy shoes and have had to settle for a different kind for different tasks. <BR/>The optimum for me would be Vans with more arch support.Watson Woodworth https://www.blogger.com/profile/18056045044039701907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-30144324148634696232008-03-29T21:56:00.000+13:002008-03-29T21:56:00.000+13:00I have spent a small fortune on Kumfs, especially ...I have spent a small fortune on Kumfs, especially as they're about the only shoes that can take orthotics, but the toes are too tight and the heel is too loose, my feet swim about in them and I end up in more pain and strain than by not wearing the orthotic in a pair of much cheaper shoes. Total waste of money. Be very sure they fit before you buy anything. <BR/><BR/>If you do fancy their styles (and I find them a little clonky-looking) and want to try them, join their club because that gives you 30-day right of return even if you've worn the shoes outside. They claim to take them back in any condition, within 30 days, from club members.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-27573406390540343042008-03-29T19:12:00.000+13:002008-03-29T19:12:00.000+13:00I don't mean to rain on your dreams but every time...I don't mean to rain on your dreams but every time I have gotten kumfs they have invariably caused me to sprain an ankle. I can't explain it- they just seem not to support my ankles properly or something.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally the Public Trust will do your will for free- though you have to appoint them as executor which may be a deterrent. I did mine through them on-line.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797661728002935006noreply@blogger.com
