Barking Dogs

Nope, not the furry kind.

The size 7 1/2s attached to my ankles.  

They've got a muzzle on for now but I need to find a few pairs of comfy shoes for the long hours of standing in the kitchen.   I acquired (begrudgingly) a pair of...Crocs...in the somewhat cuter ballet slipper style.  They are definitely comfortable and better than plain socks or bare feet.  But I'm wondering if there's anything better out there?

Any suggestions, blogger world?  What keeps your feet and  back supported?  I'm not trying to have the back of my legs look like the highway map of the USA.  No thank you, varicose veins.
