I have a couple of pairs of Skechers slip on Go Walk, which tick the box for comfort but they aren't the nicest looking. I have mobility issues so prefer flattish shoes, but I can't wear little pumps as I tend to either step out of them, or spread my feet to keep them on (slapping my feet off ground as I walk). Slip on Skechers are fine, I think cos they cover more of the top of my foot.

This is a long winded way of asking for comfy but more dressy than Skechers recommendations please- that will suit skirts or trousers. Closed or open toe /sandals

Cheers!

My ugly shoes killed the thread! BUT I walked seven miles in them the other day and they were beautifully comfortable. Grin And they honestly don't look anywhere near as ugly irl.

MrsELM21 · 17/04/2017 20:30

I got these today from Clarks, a bit smarter but oh so comfy

Nope not yet @AutumnEve*. I had an email to say that due to the huge number of orders it may take a little longer. I promise I will update as soon as i get themEaster Smile

BestIsWest · 17/04/2017 20:39

I did pick them up to look at in Clarks Remus and they were very light but I couldn't get past the weird white soles.

BestIsWest · 17/04/2017 20:40

I have got my eye on these though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/04/2017 20:46

Mine are all black.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/04/2017 20:49

I really like those, Best, but they were greeted with horror on here when I posted them a while ago!

BestIsWest · 17/04/2017 20:54

Did yours have black soles too? I didn't see those. I could live with that.Clarks have quite a few nice things right now.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/04/2017 20:58

Yep - all black.

I agree - they've got lots of nice pairs currently.

Bravas · 17/04/2017 21:43

Tkmaxx is worth having a look at, I have foot issues and recently bought some nice black leather Josef Seibel ones in store. They're not online but lots of Ecco, Geoxx, Scholl etc are on the website.

CherylVole · 17/04/2017 22:41

just like NORMAL SHOES

you weirdos

I have various different pairs of Sebago boat shoes. You can tighten or loosen the laces on them, they're supercomfy and they last really well with minimal cleaning!

These are my latest pair. I live Supergas for spring/summer /autumn but these are more substantial fabric so have worn them over winter.

Am going to Amsterdam this weekend- will take those and maybe Birkenstocks too (although it might be too cold) I can walk a long way in either pair.

AutumnEve · 18/04/2017 12:24

No worries wheat32 Smile

happypoobum · 18/04/2017 16:41

I have ordered these Gazelles in the navy and light blue.

Am a bit worried they will come up narrow but will report back like a good mumsnetter.

Those are not my hairy ankles Grin

Dlpdep · 18/04/2017 21:10

Not narrow at all. I tried on my normal size today and they were too big. I had to size down. The lady in the shop said the most people do need to size down as they are so wide!! I have a wide foot and they are a lovely fit. Google how to lace up converse with a wide foot - I know they aren't converse but the same technique applies - if you find them snug.

happypoobum · 18/04/2017 21:23

Thanks - still waiting for them to arrive!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/04/2017 22:07

Gazelles are v wide.

1t6y9o · 19/04/2017 07:09

Gazelles fit wide and big! Size down

happypoobum · 19/04/2017 14:43

They're here!! They are luffly!

I can't say they are comfy as they have a funny bump in the inside where I imagine people who aren't flat footed have a gap? They are so pretty though I don't care how uncomfortable they are Grin

AnnaNimmity · 19/04/2017 14:53

I find all those shoes so frumpy, sorry everyone.

I have some vans and some Veja trainers like this for this kind of weather and some pointy ballet flats too.

I would quite like some gazelles.

For work I usually wear heels atlhough do have some loafers.

I have some

happypoobum · 19/04/2017 14:58

Here they are -

I love the colour but I appreciate other people might not like the combo.

These are mine, @Friday999. Slow to reply as I have been away.

BestIsWest · 19/04/2017 18:33

Gah, now I have decided I must have the Clarks silver trainers, they are out of stock in my size.

wheat32 · 19/04/2017 21:14

My La Redoute trainers are here and are going straight back. Very small on and have a really uncomfortable bit at the lower heel where the stitching is. Very disappointed as they were actually really nice close up. Oh well back on the shopping treadmill!
