My comfiest shoes ever

I know it's still summer, but I bought a pair of Sketchers suede boots in the sale. Understandably, I haven't, worn them yet. My feet may get a bit hot.?
I tried on the mauve ones in M&S, Madgran is recommending. They were bliss, so are on my wish list.

I have bought just one pair of sketchers. I couldn't get on with the thick soles, I kept tripping over kerb edges. I gave them to a charity shop. Now I stick with Hotter.

I couldn't wear these hate having my feet overheated in hot weather. Sorry I also think they are ugly . I have just bought my first pair of Salt Water (brand) sandals , they are so comfortable , DD1 recommended them and granddaughter also has a child's pair. When they arrive you stretch them a certain way ( instructions printed on box) and if any parts are a bit stiff its recommended that you soak them in water for a few minutes then wear them until they dry on your foot ( this takes hardly any time) you can wear them in the sea ( or river) hence the name and they won't be spoilt, they are leather. You can get them in Matt or patent leather or a mix of two colours/ textures or just one of course. They are very comfortable and also support your foot so I am converted , two styles, many colours. They are quite expensive but last a long time. I also love Birkenstocks which are more casual but just as comfortable to wear all day.

You can keep wetting them until they mould perfectly to your feet

I've never tried Skechers but I do love Reiker shoes. They don't rub and come in a wide variety of styles and colours which are just that little bit different. That said I'm currently wearing a pair of Moshulu trainers which are also comfy - now they're worn in a bit.

I have three pairs (different colours) although as a size 8 wide they look anything but dainty.

They feel so much like slippers that I went to a meeting in slippers once thinking I had my Go walks on!

Only downside is that stones from my drive get stuck in the sole.

Same problem with gravel from the drive Starbird, the gaps between the bouncy bits are just a bit too far apart aren’t they?
As for “ugly” , well Maggie Smith wears them in her “Something About A Dame” film and that’s recommendation enough for me!

I have really wide short feet with bunions and find it very hard to get shoes that fit me and are comfortable. I do have some Hotters wide fittings and also m&s wide fit footgloves. For smart shoes I got some Van Daals but they arenot that compfortable. Do sketchers come in wide fittings? If so I will have a look. I don't dare order shoes online as it's hard to find shoes to fit me and I need to try them on!

I would recommend Gabor Lady (G fitting, but still smart!) and think you would get on OK with Skechers Go Walk as they are wide anyway.

Thanks. Will try!

Sorry.
Much prefer the rug; it is lovely.

It’s a Kilim, I love it too!

I've just bought a pair of Sketchers boots, QVC's TSV. I hope they live up to. all the hype. ?

I’m a convert too, I bought a pair in desperation a couple of years ago when I had real difficulty walking, due to a back problem. I now have 4 pairs and almost live in them, even though I’ve had my back fixed. I do find them a bit warm in this weather, and unfortunately their sandal versions just don’t fit me somehow. I have a Moshulu sandal with a shaped footbed which is also really comfortable - although not if walking any distance as it’s a toe post style.

I put all my Skechers in the washing machine, they come out very well.

I love Skechers , my latest pair is a deck shoe in navy and white stripe , they look fab with , jeans ,white cropped pants or shorts, they come with white and navy laces too so you can change them around , so soft and comfy inside too,
I am not too keen on the go walk style as they make my feet look enormous ,

I need a size 8 so I'm quite pleased that Skecher trainers - with a Velcro strap, don't make my feet look enormous.

Same problem here with gravel. I 'clack' across the kitchen floor and keep a small screwdriver handy to prize out the stones.

I got a pair of lace-up Skechers trainers in a local discount shoe shop which also gives an extra discount to owners of a bus pass. They're grey with pink trim and a choice of black or bright pink laces. At the moment I'm using the black ones. They're so comfy I have to check to make sure I'm not wearing my slippers.

A friend of mine had a lovely pair of navy flat shoes with a striped Velcro strap over the top from Clarke’s. Anyone here wearing Clarke’s shoes ? Are they relatively soft ?

I've found that they can vary quite a lot between styles.
I always tend to go for Mary Jane styles, and they have all felt very different.

Thanks I will check them out.

I buy lot of shoes from Clark's outlet, at a fraction of the price and Ihaver never been disappointed.
