Summer school run shoes

Some days I walk over 5 miles for school/preschool runs, can anyone recommend some good quality but not hideous shoes for summer that will be more comfy than pumps or sandals?

I have these and I love them. They have a crepe sole which should be hard wearing, they have that raised sole, driving thing going on at the back so they shouldn't be trashed by driving like my other pumps were, and they're really comfy.

I imagine they aren't to everyone's taste, but I think I look chic in them (I hope). I wouldn't wear them with a dress, but I could walk 5 miles in my havaianas so that would be my dress option

£39 is a good price for the quality of the leather - they were a bit small though so I went for a 5.5 rather than my usual 5.

I'm going to get the Hush Puppies ones, I've heard nothing but good things about them.

The hush puppies are amazingly comfy too. I've had them before but now I'm a clarks convert. I have 3 new pairs of the idyllics, pink, gold and black to replace my done in pairs! I love them!

I live abroad and wear Decathlon ballet pumps a lot. I think there are Decathlons in the UK?

Those decathlon ones look great, lots of colours too!

Did you know that Birkenstocks are made with both regular and narrow width fitting?
I now own 3 pairs of Mayari, and they are the most comfortable things ever.

They're very comfortable Mrs Jamin!

Anything by Merrell or Keen do you?
I think if I was walking that distance I'd want a bit of a sole

I like the Merrell and Keen ones, actually, but they are quite expensive. Saw some Shechers ones this morning that looked ok but were a bit drab.
