Looking for some nice trainers (or other supportive shoe!)...

Im really fussy with trainers - dont like that many, and I have had my skechers (which I like) for so long now, they are all floppy and unsupportive, and my feet hurt after walking a lot :( (and I am also experiencing arch pain for some reason) so I need new ones...

I would really appreciate any suggestions!

Im not looking for a sports trainer, as I dont like the look of them

.. supportive, but not ugly :S

and feminine, but not girly :S

Definately not big and clumpy!

Maybe a different type of sporty shoe? Like those mary jane sporty type things?

I'm not sure, I havent bought shoes for ages, and well, am open to suggestions!

Thank you :)

I have bought these www.fitflop.com/shoes+clogs/ff-supertone-leather-bronze/invt/ffsupertonebronze/ very comfy and cute.
Quite pricey but sure you can find a bit cheaper online.
I know there is fitflop hatred on here but I love these trainers Wink

I have these which are as comfy as trainers but look a bit smarter for work.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Im sorry, but I am not so sure about either :(

So far I am thinking about

(i) sporty loafer (similar to some geox ones)
(ii) these ones! www.shop.puma.co.uk/PUMA-Archive-Lanai-XT-Island/4050795357533,en,pd.html?cgid=13000#

NOt getting anywhere else at the moment :(

I have these. www.clarks.co.uk/find/department-is-women/technologies-is-wave/product-is-20341342

I almost didnt try them on cos I thought 'clumpy' BUT they are fabulous, the pewter colour makes them a bit special, really really comfortable. Believe me I push a pram all day.

And with most trousers I dont think clumpy. Not good with skinnies tho.

Ecco have some nice ones (really)

Try here but beware the irritating Ecco page with many shoes on it (impossible to link to precise ones)

Javari usually have a good selection (search under fashion trainers)

Thanks for suggestions...

actually, went and ordered these

www.sarenza.co.uk/Skechers-Gym-s169-p0000039861?ectrans=1

Not the most supportive, but anyway...

May check out the javari website though!
