They are made in Portugal and are a bit spendy but I really like them. Good luck. I, too, have fussy feet and learned the hard way to pamper my feet on vacation. I would&nbsp; toss six shirts out of my bag so I can take 2 pairs of good walking shoes on vacation. Once I ruin my feet, the vacation is essentially over for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1206561 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 13:17:59 +0000 Isabel 1206561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi lady, I was an "economical" shoe shopper for years. &nbsp;The single, most important lesson that I learned at YLF was to stop sacrificing my feet and back. &nbsp;It is not an understatement to say it changed my life ! &nbsp;</p> <p>You can get a good pair of shoes for that price. One of my favorites is Clarks. &nbsp;I also love Earth, Earthies, Eccho and Fidji. &nbsp;They may not be flamboyant but you will be super comfortable.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div>If you go to the Nordstrom site and type in "comfort shoes" in search, a whole bunch will pop up. &nbsp;One recommendation I want to make is no matter what you get, break them in before your trip. &nbsp; </p> <p>Have fun !!!!!</p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1206488 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 11:12:56 +0000 Ledonna N. 1206488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies for the suggestions. I already have the moleskin and shoe inserts ready. I will be taking two pairs of shoes in my Carry on and wear one pair. I tend to lean toward the darker side when it comes to shoes except two pair of white shoes. One pair of white boots from Dr Martens and a pair of gladiator sandals. rachylou thanks for the suggestions those sneakers can be my pop of color. I think I will be taking my PF Flyers they have held up and supported my feet on long walks in Chicago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1205881 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 17:34:04 +0000 rachylou 1205881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Multi-coloured, multi-patterned sneakers!

Angie's right about not messing with your feet, and I'm speaking from a painful personal experience. I was vacationing&nbsp;in Italy and walked all day, every day for over a week. I wore a pair of casual low-heeled shoes that I normally wear during the work week, but have never walked more than an hour in them in a day. A couple days into my trip,&nbsp;my toes were pinched and a huge blister formed at the bottom of both feet,&nbsp;and an infection ensued. Needless to say, the rest of my trip was miserable. I will happily sacrifice vanity for comfort from now on and wear athletic shoes on such trips, even though they clash with my outfit and&nbsp;aren't so stylish.</p> <p>Whichever shoes you decide, make sure you try and&nbsp;walk in it A LOT before taking it with you. Have fun on your trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1205747 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:22:01 +0000 Angie 1205747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, honey. You need to wear comfortable low heeled booties with socks. Don't mess with your feet - because if you do - your feet are history for the trip. Rather change up your shoes when you're somewhere fun along the way.&nbsp; </p> <p>Pack the body glide and add cushioning insoles too.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1205737 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:16:45 +0000 Ledonna N. 1205737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Thanks for responding so quickly.&nbsp; We I am spending 2 complete days in NYC and 3 in Washington DC so there will be a lot of walking. I would guesstimate at least up to 130 NYC blocks.&nbsp; Don't worry I am packing the moleskin just in case but I wanted to break in the shoes before I went on my trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1205720 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:06:32 +0000 Angie 1205720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How much walking are you thinking of doing? 130 NYC city blocks - or 20 blocks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1205718 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:04:54 +0000 Ledonna N. 1205718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, mrseccentric and shoe twin L'Abeille thank you kindly for the thourough shoe suggestions.&nbsp; I will check them all out. I love the Fluevog Shoes and have one pair that I cherish but I had to go through heck and high water to find the right size for my foot.&nbsp; It was well worth it.&nbsp; I will keep on checking for sales.&nbsp; Also I have a couple of clarks which sit in my closet be I do not use them they are orphans because they do not conform to my style idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1205690 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:40:27 +0000 L'Abeille 1205690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello shoe twin! (11W flat) Although I don't tend as much to the flamboyant, all your other keys resonate with me (stylish! economical! comfortable! fit!)</p> <p>I have been really impressed with Clarks, in both fit and supreme comfort, to the point that I now know I can confidently order a shoe without trying it on, and you know how rare that is. I got started with the comfortable, supportive, clog or loafer styles that I mostly use at work. But now I have high heeled shooties and an incredible high heeled pair that combine brogue, oxford and ghillie styling, or as my friends say "the best shoes in the world". </p> <p>So, for funky, I would suggest you look at the shoes Orla Keilly (Kelly?) is designing for Clarks in England, to start with.</p> <p>And if I may hijack this thread slightly, I am on the lookout for a new pair of oxfords that meet the above criteria. They need to have some support (ie not paperthin flat soles) but most of what I have seen looks too clunky and mannish in my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1205678 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:14:09 +0000 mrseccentric 1205678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello ladywone!!!&nbsp; Well, i have had some great shoes from John Fluevog in that price range, but i'm telling you you gotta work it. He does produce a number of flat and lower-heeled styles regularly, and his shoes also regularly go on sale or clearance in your price range. What i do is keep an eye on what shoes i like and decide to buy when (and if) they reach my price. </p> <p><a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/clearance.php" rel="nofollow">Here's a link to the clearance page.</a> And right now there's 22 styles in size 11!! - but Fluevog's sizing is all over the place. I wear standard 9.5 women's medium, but i have Fluevog's i'm thrilled with in sizes 9-10. The best approach is to go to a store, but if you 're not in a good location for that the sales people are very knowledgeable about the fits of the various shoes and if they run narrow, wide, etc. There's also a fair amount of reviews online.</p> <p>Personally, I've found the <a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/families.php?family=Adriana" rel="nofollow">Adriana 'family' shoes</a> and the <a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/families.php?family=Wonders" rel="nofollow">Wonder 'family' shoes</a> to both be very comfortable as well as stylish, but i would not hesitate to try other families with a low heel. Some of the shoes are less flamboyant in shape but come in wild colors (or you can have them dyed). Choice of socks or hose can influence the look as well. </p> <p>Best of luck - i'll be watching this thread to see what else people recommend! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-stylish-walking-shoes#post-1205601 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 13:00:26 +0000 Ledonna N. 1205601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greetings, I am sure that this question has been asked multiple times but, here goes. I am a very economical shopper and I also lean more toward the flamboyant side when it comes to clothing and shoes. My question is do you know of some stylishly flamboyant comfortable shoes. I would be willing to invest but not more than $100- $150 price range. I was also blessed with size 11w flat feet. Thanks in advance all suggestions are welcome. </p>
