Do You Choose Style or Comfort?

It’s possible to get comfort and style. You just have to look harder. I couldn’t wear ugly shoes and although I can’t wear high heels any more I do have nice shoes.

These are gorgeous Puzzler61. I'm a Reiker fan too.

twinnytwin I find it easier to buy sandals.
I have Rieker anti stress sandals that are low and have several designs/colours. They suit my feet and can wear them all day.
These are the pair I got since lockdown.

“Marriage is like an old shoe, not very glamorous but comfortable”.

I used to wear all the latest fashions in shoes when they first came out. Back in the 1970s I had platform shoes and boots which I fell off quite often and had to give them up when I was pregnant, as I got scary! About 8 years I fell and twisted my ankle and it has never been the same since so I now go for comfort. Hotter shoes are at the top of my list now, so comfy.

That’s helpful Jess , thanks I’ll look.
I’m not ready to give up the Mary Janes, especially when you say they the Hotter ones are comfy. I’ll have to lose at least 2 inches heel height on my Clark’s ones pictured.

Always comfort first for me. I usually shop at Hotter and they do have a bit of style to them, especially the very comfy Mary Janes.

Comfy every time but with a wedge heel as I'm short and feel I need the extra inches, also I'm used to them couldn't wear flat, I find the wedge ideal.

Comfort every time, but that doesn’t mean they have to look fuddy duddy there are some lovely styles around

When I was teaching I always wore heels and skirts. Looking at my wardrobe now, it's mainly flat shoes and boots and the only skirts are winter ones worn with boots. I actually wore a dress and heels for a girls meal out one evening and felt like Dick Emery as I wobbled towards the restaurant. It's now "comfort" all the way.

Especially since my two new knees it's comfort all the way for me!

Squiffy I adored the satire of Victoria Wood and miss her humour so much.
I’m thinking about Dolly and Jean in dinnerladies talking about balcony bra’s! So funny.

Comfort definitely, but the fashion at the moment doesn't mean high heels. If you notice, lots of fashion photos show pretty summer dresses with white trainers/tennis shoes. Looks great. There are also nice flat sandals with plenty of support. Have a search around the internet. Just cos we're a certain age, doesn't mean we have to be frumpy or in pain!

Wasn't it Victoria Wood who said that when you look in a shoe shop window and think 'they look comfy' you know you're getting old!

In which case, I was old before I was old!!

I choose comfort. Hardly ever wear heels theses days mostly due to having pins in my toes. I do think they give a certain something to your outfit though.

Comfort every time. I would not even remotely consider wearing such shoes!
