Naturalizer, definitely, just bought two pairs.&nbsp; Thanks for all the photos, Suz!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels/page/2#post-2395722 Mon, 15 Sep 2025 17:17:51 +0000 Suz 2395722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a 2" or lower block heel, or a platform/ flatform, which isn't really a heel, but which does give a lift and even out proportions. Between 1 and 2 inches is my sweet spot for comfort -- a complete flat without a substantial sole can be very painful for me. I do wear sneakers now (which are pretty much flat) but I have to wear a Superfeet insole to make them work for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>For brands -- definitely find the ones that work for <b>your</b> foot. We are all different! The comfort brands can be better bets, but not always and not every shoe.&nbsp;</p> <p>Like Lisa, I like Ecco. I also wear La Canadienne very well, but they are so expensive. Another brand that can work for me -- or be awful for me, depending -- is Naturalizer. Eileen Fisher can be good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels/page/2#post-2395719 Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:03:46 +0000 Carol 2395719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aquamarine--I did&nbsp; just get a pair of&nbsp; classic Naturalizer pumps.

I prefer boots and sneakers, but if I need a dressy pump/shoe, I like Naturalizer. I have the same shoes as Carla’s first two ^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2395689 Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:12:04 +0000 Carol 2395689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan--wonderful. Thanks for the recs. I will check them out soon, when I have time.

I have a sexy, flattering pair of black strappy ones, but usually find something more comfortable. I did just get my first pair of blocky, black Naturalizer pumps, and I am excited to take those for a spin.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2392056 Sun, 27 Jul 2025 10:39:54 +0000 Lynne 2392056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Naturalizer, the heels are ussually low, block, and lots of support. I find I can move fastest in my sneakers and find they're dressy enough now for most occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2392053 Sun, 27 Jul 2025 09:47:04 +0000 Jenni NZ 2392053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I checked my shoes. I have 35 pairs, of which 6 pairs have a heel higher than 2 inches (I measured). All 6 pairs are my least worn shoes, but I have worn 1 of the pairs this year briefly and 1 last year, for short, not-walking-much occasions. I find it a problem even going out to dinner in a heel if there is a walk from where the car is parked. I just try to choose attractive comfortable low heels or flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2392045 Sun, 27 Jul 2025 00:07:56 +0000 Carol 2392045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AndiB--sounds super cute! I am not sure I can wear sling backs--I might need the full heel.</p> <p>DonnaF--thanks so much. You just made this a "saved post" for me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391996 Sat, 26 Jul 2025 00:12:42 +0000 DonnaF 2391996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barkingdogshoes.com (my bad for not checking the web site before I posted) is a web site that specializes in reviews and recommending shoes for women with various foot problems like flat feet, PF, bunions, etc. It has a section on comfy heels, many of which are even cute!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391980 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 20:21:01 +0000 AndiB 2391980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I’ve landed on isn’t a heel so much as it is the essence of a heel. A sling back pump! With a pointier toe which for me brings the elegance or dressiness of a heel without the pain point. Might have a small block heel, maybe an inch. Dresses up jeans. Allows my trousers to be elevated tho I do wear trousers with fashion sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391964 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 17:54:06 +0000 Carol 2391964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla--those certainly are cute shoes. I did not realize Naturalizer made such cute shoes. Certainly they would be great for commuting, if they work!<br />Aurore--those all look nice, and I think you are the first person to expressly prefer booties, which is also my comfort zone. I would also love to "run" around in those Rockport heels!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391962 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 17:48:52 +0000 Carol 2391962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lise--good point, although I find I have to try harder to make my legs, etc. look good with flats.<br />Bijou--I love how fun and distinctive all your shoes are! I had, in high school, some platform heel loafers like yours--mine were brown. Wore them all the time. I love, too, your ankle tie heels. I forget that a tie can be helpful.<br />Janet--like I just told Bijou--I love how distinctive and fun your shoes are. I especially love your boots, which appear to be a comfort zone for me in the low-heel world.<br />Dee--probably true, but a couple of the most comfortable low heels I had were little witchy shoes from Payless, who made better shoes at the "high end." The toe box was small, but somehow felt roomy.<br />The Cat--thank you! People seem to agree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391960 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 17:39:55 +0000 Carol 2391960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa--I love the simple design on all those shoes. I would definitely have those boots for "running around the airport!"<br />Cookie--thanks.<br />Jaime--thanks.<br />DonnaF--great tip, thanks. What is barkingdog.com?<br />Kate--thanks for all the great brand recommendations. I completely forgot about flatforms. That is a whole&nbsp; other post!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391959 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 17:33:03 +0000 Carol 2391959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen--Naturalizer--I remember them. I have not looked in a while, so maybe I will try that again. I know that some companies used to require heels for women. Don't know if this is still a thing. I hope not!<br />Sal--I think you are right--some people like flats, and some like heels. I suspect I may be a heel person, but I am not&nbsp; sure.<br />Sloper--I did look up Kork-ease when you mentioned it--they really do have cute stuff. I may have to try it.<br />Irina--lots of people mention block heels. I know I have had ankle boots like that, but I don't know if I have tried them all day.<br />Cookie--I do like that second photo, and they look quite comfortable! As long as the leather does not dig into the top of your foot. But maybe like, a bootie works better for me, I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391949 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 15:10:32 +0000 Aurore 2391949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear 4-6cm (~2in) heels all day for work, even if the agenda of the day involves a lot of walking. But I have fussy feet and not all shoes are equal: different pairs from the same brand and a similar heel shape may not all enable me to wear them all day.</p> <p>Like several previous commenters, the shoes that most commonly fit for that purpose are block-heeled booties. The two pairs in Finds below are workhorses.<br />Special mention for the two non-booties among the Finds below : <br />- all wedges from spanish brand Sarahworld allowed me to run errands in town all day, but it seems like the brand does not exist anymore.&nbsp;<br />- and then there are those pumps from Rockport, with a 7cm (2,7in) very thin heel, which are incredibly comfortable. Rockport shoes are not so easy to find in France, so I don't know if all their pumps are like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391945 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 14:27:53 +0000 Carla 2391945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>12 years ago, when I first joined YLF, I wore heels as high as 3 inches. &nbsp;I worked in an office and either drove to work in a car or commuted on a bike and changed at work. &nbsp;A couple of years latter we moved, and I became a commuter and a walker. &nbsp;Heels got lower, and pretty flats worked. &nbsp;Either I became deconditioned to wearing heels or something changed (around age 57) and anything over 1 inch became intolerable. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>I recently ‘settled’ for a pair of dressy boots with a 2 inch heel after a several years search. &nbsp;I gave them two seasons, but in the end passed them on due to discomfort and a sense of instability. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Naturalizer brand is my ‘go to’ for a dressy low heel, but I’m still looking for the perfect pair of low heeled dressy boots!</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391943 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 14:02:34 +0000 The Cat 2391943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Low block heels, wedges, flatforms and platforms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391930 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 11:35:51 +0000 Dee 2391930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, block heels, platforms and some wedge heels as long as they aren't very high could be okay for short wears, but the toe box is also an important consideration as well. Too narrow and pointy can lead to bunions and other foot issues down the road. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391929 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 11:26:08 +0000 Janet 2391929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that block heels, wedges and not-too-extreme platforms make heels much easier to wear. </p> <p>Below are some of my heels that I can wear for hours comfortably. None are extreme except for the platform on those Chloe sandals, but even those are surprisingly comfortable! </p> <p>I just wore the grey Sorel sandals all day yesterday and they remain super comfortable and are several years old. I’ve thought about duplicating them in another color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391927 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 10:02:19 +0000 Bijou 2391927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like the look of heels, but honestly, they are never going to be as comfy as flatter shoes which I mainly wear.</p> <p>For me, boots are the comfiest heels. The cream boot has a bit of a heel, but it is tempered by the platform, so I get height without throwing my weight onto the ball of my feet, these are my favourite shoes this winter and get worn almost daily!<br />The black boot has a bit of a platform and a good solid wedge heel - comfier than a thin heel and worn when I want to be a bit more dressed up.</p> <p>For pumps, I find there is quite a bit of support with the loafer (also a platform and solid heel) and for dressy occasions my going out shoes tie at the ankle and also have a solid heel. I also have some basic black heels, which are OK for a few hours on my feet at a cocktail party. </p> <p>My summer heels are typically a wedge with a platform.</p> <p>When I throw caution to the wind, I wear the pink glitter heels. Fun when going on a girls night out to dinner and not too much standing involved!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391918 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 06:07:20 +0000 Star (Lise) 2391918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like platforms and flatforms for heels. I agree some outfits just look better with a heel. That said some look better with a flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391914 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 03:42:36 +0000 Kate 2391914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love block heels, platforms, and flatforms. I try to keep heels to 2”, though I have some platforms that are slightly higher. They work just fine for me because the platform is so stable.</p> <p>Flats are generally wretchedly uncomfortable with my long, narrow, flat feet. I can walk right out of any flat unless it’s a strapped sandal.</p> <p>I look everywhere for shoes, but I have had some success with Cole Hahn, Paul Green, Pikolinos (had to size up), Taos, and Born. Josef Seibel has worked in the past but sadly I’m between sizes now with that brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391912 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 00:30:47 +0000 DonnaF 2391912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t invite foot problems!!! That being said, I would start with so-called comfort brands and read a lot of reviews, especially on barkingdogs.com. Keep in mind that some heels are better balanced than others so that they don’t feel so high like the boots that Griffin just bought at NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391909 Thu, 24 Jul 2025 22:47:55 +0000 Jaime 2391909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really can't wear even a low heel on a regular basis but enjoy looking at them anyway. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391899 Thu, 24 Jul 2025 22:17:28 +0000 Cookie 2391899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I also have these and have been fine wearing them to a conference all day where I was standing for a lot of things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391898 Thu, 24 Jul 2025 22:16:58 +0000 Lisa 2391898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These sandals feature my favorite type of heel. Two inches or less and a block style. I have found this style of heel can dress up or down easily. And I can and have walked all day in these sandals/heels. My favorite heeled shoe brands are Ecco and Rockport. Both have nice cushion around the ball of the foot and generally a wider shape toe box. </p> <p>Also these heeled booties, I have them in three colors because the heel is perfect. I have worn them all day including for long days of airport travel and they are great.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391897 Thu, 24 Jul 2025 22:15:14 +0000 Cookie 2391897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobb Hill make some low-heeled styles that people say are comfortable but I haven’t tried them. People also SAY that Fluevog heels are comfortable but while I love them, I cannot wear them “running around town.” I own and love the shoes in the first pic, enough to get them in multiple colors, but I wouldn’t wear them more than around the office and 5-10 minutes to get lunch and back. I think I walked two miles in them once but it HURT.<br /> The second pic are probably my most comfortable heels but again, I probably wouldn’t wear them if I planned to be running around all day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-the-time-heels#post-2391895 Thu, 24 Jul 2025 20:58:01 +0000 Irina 2391895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear block heels under 2” high. These are the most comfortable for me and I can walk a distance if the shoes fit well. I used to like kitten heels but don’t find them stable enough post my 2022 injury.&nbsp; </p>
