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

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.

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.

Ecco shoes are very comfy

grin Oh dear!

MissAdventure Sun 16-Sept-18 17:03:45

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

lemongrove Sun 16-Sept-18 16:58:48

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!

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

Liz46 Sun 16-Sept-18 15:45:46

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.

Washerwoman Sun 16-Sept-18 15:11:38

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.

MissAdventure Sun 16-Sept-18 14:48:36

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

SueDonim Sun 16-Sept-18 14:43:04

Missadventure, as well as good shoes (I like Hotter footwear) have a think about wearing orthotics or shoe inners.

My 22yo Dd is sometimes on her feet all day and she's taken to wearing gel insoles. She says they make such a difference! You can buy them in Boots and from Scholl but there are cheaper versions from places such as Home Bargains.

giulia Sun 16-Sept-18 14:34:20

Skechers, Fitflop or Ecco.

Farmor15 Sun 16-Sept-18 14:11:31

Rieker and Seibel are the ones I mostly buy for comfort and Rieker also do reasonably stylish ones.

Atqui Sun 16-Sept-18 12:54:32

Camper or fitflop

GrandmaMoira Sun 16-Sept-18 12:52:51

Ecco are more expensive but hardwearing. Clarks Trigenic range are very light and comfortable, a bit like Sketchers for fit but smarter as not trainer style.

Katek Sun 16-Sept-18 12:33:39

jane10 have a look at Gabor shoes in Debenhams. The ‘Fifi’ and ‘Tarbert’ styles might suit for your posh do!

Sorry about the ‘Fifi’ ..... who thinks up these daft names for styles? And don’t get me started on paint colours........

BBbevan Sun 16-Sept-18 12:31:25

Josef Seibel for me. Better looking than trainers and all leather. I have several pairs, one pair at least 10 years old. Still look good and are super comfortable Must get another pair for this winter .

MissAdventure Sun 16-Sept-18 12:13:22

I've just ordered a pair of Hotter shoes in purple. smile
12.99 because they're last years style.
I'd better stop looking now, at least until pay day!

MissAdventure Sun 16-Sept-18 11:17:50

Well, I've ordered a pair of skechers, but then I checked out Riekers too.
They're lovely!
I have my eye on a pair of those, so now I'm going to look on eBay, and see if anyone has a pair for sale. smile
Of course, i'll have to also look for all the others recommended too!

ChaosIncorporated Sun 16-Sept-18 10:59:31

I have been a lover of Carvela and Ann Klein loafers for years...super comfy, and wasy to wear.
It seems style has finally caught up with me, as loafers now seem to be the in thing grin

tinaf1 Sat 15-Sept-18 23:28:23

Sketchers or Hotters don't know what size you are ( I am 5) but bought sketchers kids same style but lot cheaper
