Support shoes [View all]

So one of my feet is hurting like the devil, and the ortho doc says it's tendonitis, get support shoes. He recommended Brooks Ariel, which turn out to be surpassingly ugly, big clunky things with color combinations thought up by some madman.

I've looked around for alternatives, and the few decent looking ones seem all to be made with leather, which rules them out for me.

Any ideas for shoes?
