Aaargh!!!

I'm going mad trying to find some comfy shoes - I never wear tucked in jeans as all my trousers seem to be bootcut, so boots won't work unless they can be worn underneath, and I'm so so sick of wearing trainers all the time as I feel so scruffy!

Can anyone help

I wear these from next but they are a tad narrow and pinch after a while. Need some like them but eeeeeeee fit

V embarrassed to be saying so but Lands End have Mary Janes that are the most comfortable shoes EVER.

another vote for clarkes here, would never have even looked in the window of one 6 months ago, but they have become my favorite shoe shop (ok second favorite, I'll always love faith boots)

another Clarks vote

I have shortish block-heeled boots from there and they are fab - bit like jodhpur boots I suppose, but zipped not elastic
much better than ballet flats in this weather and look quite smart
always get brown to wear with jeans though, not black.

I just got a pair of these - incredibly comfy and easily fit under boot-cut jeans.

Though having seen everyone else's responses, I'm going to be having a look in Clarks

I quite like those Mary Janes actually. Must be approaching 40. I still try on my Gina stilettos often before going out, but never actually wear any of them anymore

And btw bootcut jeans are made for ankle boots. They are very comfy. I have something almost the same as these but with a solid wedge heel, which are not what you are looking for, but are v.comfy, leg-lengthening, ideal for bootcut jeans, warm, and good for when it's raining as a bit platformy. Obviously rather pricey, but have worn them all winter for 3 winters now and still going strong.

skechers, skechers, skechers! incredibly comfy (i have lots all the same style but different colours/patterns) I prefer the ones with the cross over velcro straps. Divine - and cheaper on ebay than anywhere else

StrictlyAvadaKedavraarrrrghhhh · 21/10/2009 15:58

Skechers are nice and comfy yes but they really start to whiff after a bit, no other shoes have done this with me, just skechers [shrug]

Romanarama · 21/10/2009 16:00

Skechers are the pits, I got some and the sole sort of collapsed on one side so my foot wasn't straight and my knee was agony after 5 mins walking. I would never, ever buy another pair.

monkeysmama · 21/10/2009 16:45

My taste's a bit different I think as I don't like any of the suggestions. Hope op has found some she likes.

beesonmummyshead · 21/10/2009 21:36

oh, is that why my feet smell so bad i just assumed i had developed smelly feet, but yes all i wear are skechers. Oh and i have a really sore foot, which I put down to an unexplained injury. hmmm, time to put skechers away for a while and see how I go I think. An excuse to buy new shoes anyway
