Well Kittensaver, I liked the link you posted for the Francis shoes, but I have foot problems too...I think the heel height is too high for me. When my feet hurt, I am just cranky. I wore higher heeled sandals two days this weekend - both Born Sandals but I had blisters on my feet on Monday. Wore my Easy Spirit Shoes to work on Monday. I consider the Easy Spirit Shoes my "Dog Walking shoes" I don't care what my neighbors think. I usually wear dressier shoes to work, but we can wear jeans, shorts etc, so no one will ever complain about what kind of shoes I am wearing. More power too you if you can wear 3-4" heels, but you won't see me in them. FWIW, I broke my lower left leg in three places two and a half years ago, but I'm back in these because they are so. darn. comfortable. b.o.c. is Born's "fashionable" line of shoes. The heels look high but the shoe is really "cushy," if that makes sense. With my leg problems I'm probably not ever going to be able to get back in stilletos or stiff leather boots, but this line works for me and my long-term restriction. But of course YMMV. I love my Born Crown high heels. You are right that they are super cushy inside.

I really have to laugh. This thread reminds me of mother and I touring the ruins of the Colosseum in Rome in 3" heels! Heaven should forbid we not be fashionable! Our feet hurt so bad when we got back to that hotel it took several cups of cappuccino to recover us enough to get to the bar for something stronger!

I go to Nordstrom Rack a lot but they have very little in size 5 What kind of boot are you looking for, almost40? Do you want a casual, comfortable boot like a western boot, or are you looking for something more dressy/with a high heel? I know Justin makes a size 5 and so does Corral. I am looking for a dressy/high heel boot

Try JCP.com. I've seen smaller sizes on their web site. I was seriously debating if I could cram my feet into a pair of 5 1/2 boots I saw on there. It's only half an inch too small! Call it Spring, which is a line JCP sells, also has smaller women's sizes on their website. GoJane.com is another one. Can you tell I'm obessesed with shoes?

I am looking for a dressy/high heel boot Yeah, tough problem finding fashionable shoes in girl sizes Go to the DSW Shoe Warehouse website and look in the women's section at "booties" and "shooties." They have any number of styles that start at size 5, and many more that start at 5 1/2. Good luck and may fortune always grace you with non-granny shoes!

If you're looking for something really dressy, though, they probably won't do.

referring to things like Crocs? I'm with ya. that said, I tend to buy and wear a lot of things like this: linkin fact, this is another well-loved pair that needed to be retired a couple years ago. These aren't mules - these are cute sandals [am I the only one who things that mules and other "backless/heel-less" slip-ons are really ugly? ] that's what I was answering. my sis is also of the 4" heel fan club, she thinks these are hideous and can't wait until I pitch 'em. I have 4" heels, but not for walking around at work - we have a campus.

I bought a pair of Merrell lightweight hiking shoes last summer while we were in CA, on the advice of the wife we were going to Crater Lake with.
I have NEVER owned such a comfortable pair of shoes in my life! Unfortunately, I can't wear them to work. But I wear them whenever I can! I also found a pair of Clark paddock boots that are incredibly comfortable, and I can wear those to work.
I have a lot of foot / hip issues. I have been planning to get some "city wear" Merrells, or maybe Mephistos, for this school year. I haven't yet pulled the trigger though.
ETA: I just bought another pair, on amazon! I still need city / work shoes though LOL.

Over 70 posts in eight hours... if the topic is shoes. That about sums it up, doesn't it?

I also have serious foot issues. I have neuromas in both feet, but the right one is the worst. Good thing I have a high tolerance for pain - nothing like walking on marbles everywhere you step
I have had decent luck with Asic walking shoes. I know you weren't interested in a running type shoe. But for me, it now has to be all about the comfort. Otherwise I'm off to get cortisone shots. Then it feels like walking on bouncy balls.
Anyone have any luck with decent shoes for neuromas?

A couple years ago, I bought a pair of Ahnus. They feel like sneakers, but aren't.
They're in a box......somewhere!

Good arch support, I guess. Not completely flat. When I wear my ballet type flats to work and walk a lot, my foot with the fasciitis hurts like crazy that night and the next day. I can wear Toms for a while, but not do to a lot of walking. I'm going to NYC, so I plan on being on my feet way more than usual. Try the flats from Reef. They have good padding & arch support, but look similar to ballerina flats. My DD wore the Reef Tropic all over Mexico for 2 months (lots of walking as she was living & teaching there). She also wore them all over campus when she was at school & again, quite a lot of walking. They are about all she wears & she's in heaven getting out of the flat flat ballerinas. I have created a shoe monster!! www.reef.com/They have shoes that are Tom's style, but they look like they have the extra support in them too. They're a little pricey, so I'd try one pair out first. I think we bought the first pair at a Helly Hansen shop.

Since they were tan, they looked a little dressier than sneakers when we were in cities.

I bought a pair of Ariat clogs and two pairs of Wolky shoes on Saturday. I have developed plantar fasciitis and was mistakenly wearing the flattest shoes I could. The salesman in the shoe store knew immediately what I needed and he was absolutely right. I've been wearing all 3 pair since Saturday to break them in and everything from my hips to my toes has not felt so good and so pain- free in a looooong time. I especially love the Wolky clogs. $400 for 3 pairs of shoes was money well-spent IMHO.

SAS sandals come in every width, have a little arch, a good foot bed and last forever. But if you can't find a SAS store near you, it's going to be hit and miss. I don't have a high opinion of their regular shoes though. My 80 year old mom loves them though.
I guess it's really a matter of what fits you.

To the dismay of many here, I just wore my Asics running shoes during the day and I'm not sorry. At night, I wore either my black Sam Edelman flats or the one pair of sexy heels I brought

I'd rather cut off my feet! OMG I just googled them.....I'm with Miss M - I'd rather not have feet than wear those. I've said that when the time comes and I have to wear ugly shoes, I'm moving somewhere I can go barefoot all the time.

Be gone, ugly granny and clodhopper shoes!!!!!!!!!!!] They're not my favorite, but if you have foot issues it's not always about the style. It is more about finding something to wear on your feet that don't torture you. A friend of mine from Turkey has HUGE foot problems. When she visited me the last time, I took her to the local SAS store and she bought enough shoes that she also needed to buy another suitcase. She dropped well over $1500 for shoes that day. However, they were some of the few shoes that she could wear.
