Comfortable Shoes?

At work I am on my feet pretty much all day. I have some cute shoes...but they hurt SO badly. I have very wide feet and it's nearly impossible to find comfortable shoes - even ballet flats are too painful. The place I work is considered business casual (people get away with wearing birkenstocks). I usually wear khakis, sweaters, stuff like that...anyone have any ideas for nice shoes that won't hurt my feet?

Comfortable Shoes?
Your feet hurt because you are in the wrong size. You can't buy the cutest shoes on the shelf, and expect them to feel good when your feet aren't standard sizes. You have to buy wide width shoes. As for a style suggestion, no matter how comfortable the style is in general, it won't feel that way when it's too tight on your feet. Get yourself measured at any shoe store to see exactly what width you need. Most women's sizes are a C-D width. If you need wider, then you'll need to find them at a speciality store.





If you can wear a regular wide width, then you can find them at any decent shoe store. Just ask to see "casual shoes" in your size that they have in stock. Casual shoes can be many styles, but it rules out the sneakers, pumps, and high heels. If you're on a tight budget, try Payless. They usually have a decent selection of wide width shoes. Skip any other discount stores- they don't carry wide widths, or if they do, the selection is poor.

If you need the wider sizes, E or wider, then you're going to have to spend the money for them. But it will be well worth every penny when your feet stop hurting.

Once you've gotten the right width, any style, even high heels, you try on will feel 100% better than what you were wearing before.

Reply:I would definately try some Dansko shoes. They run a little wide to begin with and Im sure if you got them in a wide size they would be great, the insoles are so comfortable and the shoe ends up molding with your foot once it gets broken in. They are a little expensive, but comfort sometimes is just soooo worth it!!


Good Luck!
Reply:I have got to be the pickiest person when it comes to shoe shopping and for that fact I can never find anybody to go with me. Here are some of my tips that I have found helpful. First off, don't go shoe shopping in the morning. Go in the evening after being on your feet at work all day. That way your feet will be at the state they are in when you really need your shoes to work for you. Your body has like a sensory adjustment system in it like when you put on a tight pair of jeans in the morning and by lunch you feel like you have lost weight because they aren't as tight. It kind of works in that same way. Second, shoes should not have to be broke in. If they feel uncomfortable when you try them on it isn't going to get any better and you aren't doing your feet any good either. Not to mention your back as well. Even if they are the cutest shoes ever. Pass on the purchase. I always pick a shoe that catches my eye first, then when I try it on it has to feel as good as it looks. I have big feet to begin with and I don't want any more attention being drawn to my feet then I have to. (especially since it seems like all the cute shoes are always in more petite sizes) But if the shoe doesn't fill like a thousand pillows around my foot the second I slip it on, then I say NEXT! The last thing I think about is how versatile the shoe is. Can I wear it with a dress or skirt as well as jeans? How about a business suit? Could I run in them if I had to? Well hope this is helpful. Sorry I couldn't suggest a certain type of shoe but if need be I'd try Dr. Schol's. ~Eulalia

Reply:Diesel footware is awesome..I have a pair of brown ones that I totally love...I can wear them with several different outfits and if ppl get away with wearing Birks they would def be work appropriate.
Reply:My older sister has very wide feet as well, and she has found that Payless has a lot of really comfortable shoes. If you find a pair you really like, you can always add insoles to them as well to make them easier to stand on all day.
