dansko's?

Alright ladies..I am a physician assitant at a busy family practice so I am running around like a crazy person all day long.  By the time I get home my feet, back, and hips are killing me.  I have tried all the shoes in my closet to see if it helps, but I'm not having much luck.  My feet are getting bigger, so I canot fit into my old Dansko's and I'm debating on buying a new pair.  Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks!

I would wait. I had them when I was pregnant with DS, and they started getting tight. They never really fit again. I bought a new pair after I returned to work from maternity leave. The guy at the shoe store told me many people's feet change sizes after pregnancy. I'd hate to spend the money on them to only have them fit for a few months.

If you are looking for a cheap and temporary alternative, Dr Scholl's does a cheaper line for walmart, not as comfy as Dansko professional, but a lot more comfier than regular shoes.

My friend works for a podiatrist and she says they see lots of people who wear Danskos (especially if they spend a lot of time on their feet). 

Plus you never know if your feet will go back, stay where they are or continue to grow.

I would think people in your profession would have good suggestions.

I would buy yourself a new pair.

CLOGOUTLET.COM

sanitas are similar to danskos (infact I prefer them over danskos)

this website has awesome deals, so you don't have to feel like they are a waste of money :)

Buy them! Even if you only use them for 3 months, that's a little more than $1/day you're paying to be pain free. Totally worth it in my book. Also, there is a market for gently used Dansko's on ebay. I bought a pair and wore them for one shift only to discover they were too small. Sold them on ebay for $20 less than what I paid for them.

A friend of mine is a pharmacist and on her feet all day long too and she wore compression hoses. She said they helped a lot with the swelling and vericose veins. I know that doesn't help with your feet getting bigger.

6PM.com has some great deals on Danskos, the mary jane styles seem to be more swollen feet friendly.
