Comfy Shoes for the Fashion Conscious

Can shoes be comfortable AND look cute?
Absolutely!

Ask just about any lady, and they'll tell you it's difficult to find shoes that are both comfortable and fashionable.   And it's true - it really can be difficult, but it's not impossible.  If you know where to look and what brands to keep an eye on, you'll be sporting super cute, super comfy kicks in no time.

Flats
Flats are already the most comfy shoes out there, but there are some that really go above and beyond.  Some brands to look for are Clarks, Born, and Earthies.  From casual to dressy, flats are an excellent option for anyone in need of supportive, comfy shoes.  Keep in mind: with flats, arch support is key.

Heels
Ah, heels.  So cute, yet so often painful.  If you know what to look for, though, you can wear heels without regretting it at the end of the day!  We love wedges by Dr. Scholls, cute vintage-style heels by Clarks Indigo, and classics like Aerosoles.  Keep in mind: platform wedges offer height and style without the strain of a regular heel.

Boots
Boots can also be a great option for those with "tricky" feet, because there are tons of cute boots with flat and low heels.   Clarks has a great selection, as do Naturalizer and Frye.  You're sure to find stylish boots for your fall and winter wardrobe!  Keep in mind: many boots come in different calf widths, so make sure to measure for fit.

Sporty
If you're looking for something a little more athletic, without sporting a full-on sneaker, look no further.   Naturalizer has many options, and you might also want to check out the selections by Merrell and Clarks.  Keep in mind:  you can get the sporty look without the hassle with slip-ons.

Sandals
Sandals can often be tricky - even though they're flat, they typically have no support at all, which isn't great for long wear.  If you want cute, comfy sandals you can really move in, check out Vionic with Orthaheel technology, Earthies, and sandals by Merrell.  Keep in mind:  flip-flops are often forgiving in terms of width, but strappy sandals can also work great for wide-width needs.
