Comfortable shoes and trainers

Thank you SandElf I do like those but they don't adjust over the toes... I'll maybe read some reviews first - as I do need a deep toe box if they won't adjust.

I've high arches and pf.

I comfortably wear Merrell, Mephisto, Seibel, and Birks.

Skechers, Reiker or Vionic suit my feet the best - pronounced bunion on one foot and hammer toes on both which I’ve had since birth. Reiker have sandals in their ranges, not sure about style though. I do also have a pair of Clarks leather trainers that are incredibly comfortable if incredibly old. Pavers own brand rarely suit me as I sit between two of their sizes.

I think it’s a case of try as many brands as possible and take a long while to decide if they suit. Shop assistants get tired of me as I insist on keeping potential shoes on for ages while wandering around the store.

Good luck madwomanII painful feet can make life miserable.

Many thanks everyone. Much appreciated.

Another vote for sketchers! I have several pairs of their trainers, and also this year have purchased two pairs of their open sandals.

My very experienced podiatrist does not recommend sketchers.
They may be comfortable but give no support which does lead to problems.

Sketchers are comfortable but do not give any support. Clarks Trigenic are similar and wearing those triggered plantar fascitis.

I mostly wear Hotter trainer style shoes. Ecco do similar shoes but they are more expensive. Clarks sometimes have lace ups that are comfortable. All these have thick soles which I need for arthritis and plantar fascitis.
I cannot wear slip on shoes, sandals, boots or slippers.

I have wide feet with high insteps, one smallish bunion and a couple of hammer toes. I have two pairs of Hotter trainer-style shoes with laces and zips. The first pair had insoles that didn't suit me, so I got some memory foam ones which are perfect. The second pair have better insoles! I love these shoes and am contemplating getting a third pair - for best!

Fitflop have
Flipflops
Shoes
Sandals
Trainers
Ballet pumps
Boots
that might be suitable !

I have some Ecco and Fitflop. Both accommodate my hammer toes. Both have support and are comfortable.

My walking boots were Ecco in the days when I wasn't needing a new hip!


Thank you for suggesting Vionic cornergran - I'm crossing my fingers for their sandals.

I do hope you find something suitable Madwoman11.

I read an article about a firm called Sole Bliss. They are a huge favourite with QueenCamilla, Dame Judi Dench, joanna Lumley, Helen Mirren etc. They are not cheap but apparently supremely comfy and on trend.

I haven’t got personal experience because luckily my feet are problem free but ladies on here might be interested.

I bought Sole Bliss for my son's recent wedding.
They are too formal for everyday wear (for me) but very smart and also comfortable.
Even so I did try three styles before I found "the ones"! I

I really don't think they are on trend - but they aren't "old lady styles".

Camper ankle boots are super comfortable.. or sketchers

They do trainers and that seems to be what girls/women are wearing with summer dresses, trousers etc

I thought they looked”on trend” or fashionable for older ladies.
I personally am not ready for Hotter shoes yet and not keen on Skechers. Like Isaid, I don’t wear Sole Bliss either.

Just skimmed through and the loafers, trainers and sandals don’t look too formal.

Just bought a pair of Sketchers slip ons very comfy 👍

Shout out for sketchers I won’t buy anything else for comfort and wear

I have arthritis in my feet and a nurse advised me to wear Skechers. I now have several pairs and they are so comfortable.

Sketchers for my bunions and hammer toes. I have four pairs and their slip ins are a game-changer

Thank you NoSpaghetti

Those who say Sketchers don’t give support- they have a style called Arch Fit which are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. Also, I usually buy the men’s version- they tend to be slightly wider and cheaper in the small sizes. They are often available on Amazon for around £30.

Riekers Anti Stress, wide toe box and cushioned sole, like walking on rubber matting, gorgeous !

Another vote for Fitflop from me - I have sandals, trainers and boots from this company. They are so comfy and supportive. Endorsed by my physiotherapist too!

Try Fitville especially made for problem feet and have very wide fittings if needed.
