I don't know if any more of you suffer from the unspeakable bunions - yes ladies years of wearing those heels will come back to bite you eventually - but I wanted to share that IMO the most comfortable wide fitting shoes are from a company called Meanfeet (www.menafeet.co.uk) who are currently having a winter sale.
Not all of their shoes are the height of fashion but the Mary-Jane style, which is my favourite, are wearable work shoes that look normal are soooooo comfortable and don't leave you with aching feet at the end of the day!!
Their shoes are really well made and so they can be expensive which is why I shop their sales!! Some of them are up to 50% off!!
I am quite new to mumsnet but I wanted share this with anyone out there that suffers with the everyday task of walking, I hope you find shoes that help you to be more comfortable too.
