Ever since bunion surgery ~20 years ago I have been very careful when buying new shoes, and every so often I find a winner that I then look for duplicates of. Since I mostly shop the clearance rack at DSW I often have to scrounge to find more of the exact models because I already bought them at the end of their design season.

More about the company (you in Canada may get a great clearance section also):
Our primary concept, DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, offers brand name and designer dress, casual and athletic footwear and accessories. The first store opened in 1991 in Dublin, Ohio. Today, DSW operates more than 600 stores in 44 states.

Designer Brands also operates The Shoe Company in Canada, which provides a convenient footwear solution for the whole family, as well as DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse – nearly 150 locations in all.

A few years ago I bought some extremely comfortable orthopedic shoes by Propét (they are sold at Walmart and are very reasonably priced and I probably recommended them here). Then a year ago I bought a pair of Puma running shoes that were slip on or pull on - with no laces, just a big loop at the top of the back of the shoe. I was in need of a cheap pair for gardening (since I had just thrown out the previous garden shoes - even yard shoes reach a point of no return). As has happened in the past, the cheap shoes I got for the yard were so comfortable I immediately regretted getting them so grassy and stained that I couldn't wear them for other uses. I found a lace-up pair with the pull-on loop, but they are harder to get into even if I leave the laces tied all of the time. So today I got the codes out of the favorite shoe and searched the Interwebs. Ebay has the shoe or very close - PUMA Women's Prowl Slip On Training Shoes. They're from previous seasons so are probably clearance priced. In case anyone here is looking for really comfortable shoes.
