I wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction, please?
I'm on my feet a lot at work, and travel a fair way to get there.
My poor old feet don't like it one bit, so I'm looking for shoes which are light, comfy, flat (that's essential!) and hopefully a bit stylish.
I'd welcome any suggestions. smile

Thanks SueDonim.
I think they would probably help me, as its the soles of my feet that ache.
Off to look for some of those now! smile

Ecco and Reikel wearer here.More expensive but they have a good choice of more stylish ones.Inever buy any other brand now as I have a good problem and know these will be the comfiest.

I used to be able to buy Hotter 6.5 and know they would fit. Unfortunately they have made their shoes wider now and I am a bit stumped. I do have some Skechers but they are not suitable for all occasions. I'll check up on some of your suggestions.

Mephisto are the best. Expensive but last for years and no more aching feet.

Skechers all the way! grin
I have just bought the black ones in style Go Walk Joy, you could wear these for work with black trousers and they are smart enough MissAdventure . About £59 from Skechers shop but you could buy cheaper online ( Go down a half size from your usual size, they come up very large.)
I have lived in a similar navy/white pair this Summer after
Maw recommended them, and have done lots of walking about, got tired, but never had to worry about my feet, for the first time ever!

Oh damn!
I think they're the ones I've ordered, half a size up from my usual!

How about a pair of jordan 1? I've been wearing these shoes for a year now, and I feel my foot thank me every time I wear them.

Skechers, though not if you want to look smart. I've been wearing my Skechers trainers today and hardly know I have them on, they're so light and comfortable. I bought a lovely light pair of Hotters shoes this summer, supportive and can be worn with or without tights.

...not if you want to look smart....They now do a simple slip-on shoe looks like a court shoe. Nice colours too! Not expensive either.

How about a pair of jordan 1 www.forstepstyle.com/fashion-marketplace/nike/jordans/air-jordan-1/ ? I've been wearing these shoes for a year now, and I feel my foot thank me every time I wear them. Besides being comfortable, breathable, it is also stylish, and you can even combine it with a skirt, a dress, and a classic suit. So you won't have to worry when you go out for dinner in town during a vacation. Just match the colors well, and it will be a suitable outfit for the holidays too. You will thank me later for this recommendation.
