My heels also don't "bump out" much at the back but go straight down, which might be another problem.&nbsp;</p> <p>My feet don't have bunions and aren't wide, but the forefoot is definitely wider than the back.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hate socks, too, and really like the months I can go without them. So I totally understand, and also the frustrations of digging around trying ineffectually to fix the darn little no-show sock, which has balled up under the forefoot and twisted into a torture device!&nbsp;</p> <p>I also get stubborn about the bandaids, too, and sometimes they just don't work or they fall off if it is humid, or you get them in the wrong place.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't know if you have found these. They are super expensive but really surprisingly good:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.band-aid.com/advanced-protection/advanced-healing-blister/bandages-6-count">https://www.band-aid.com/advan.....es-6-count</a></p> <p>And these ones are also really good:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.healthsnap.ca/elastoplast-sos-blister-6-patches-small-transparent-patch-product?gclid=Cj0KEQjw8pC9BRCqrq37zZil4a0BEiQAZO_zrBHg_hSEq4BCbAhGhSdIIzZz6YI_3Q418b4lk73-Kb0aApOo8P8HAQ">https://www.healthsnap.ca/elas.....t?gclid=Cj</a></p> <p>I seem to like one for one situation and one for another but now I can't remember which is which. I would get a couple of packages of each of these and have them on hand along with the body glide. And then just go with the best fitting shoe you can find and the best no-show sock you can find and hope for the best. But bring your extra shoes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708756 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 19:54:33 +0000 Liz A. 1708756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Suz! You just told the story of my life. &nbsp;I have narrow heels, but not really narrow feet due to bunions on the front of my feet. &nbsp;I totally do the preemptive bandaid thing, but sometimes am very stubborn and decide to try to forego them. &nbsp;That never ends well. &nbsp;I know I should just wear socks, but I hate them except with running shoes or in the winter. &nbsp;I will try to be smart about my upcoming trip and do what needs to be done. </p> <p>ETA: I never thought about my narrow heels being the reason the no-show socks won't stay on!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708747 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 19:47:44 +0000 Suz 1708747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liz, do you have narrow heels? I do, and blisters are -- I hate to say it -- an absolute fact of life for me. In that, it is a rare, a <b>very</b> rare closed shoe -- that does not produce them on the first few wears. I could probably count the times I've found that shoe on the fingers of one hand.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sandals are better, even sandals with closed heels, perhaps because the straps tend to keep my foot in place a bit better than even a lace up shoe can. Booties are also better than regular shoes and rarely produce blisters unless I don't wear socks with them.&nbsp;</p> <p>My tricks to deal with this are the following:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Wear bandaids or blister bandaids pre-emptively -- i.e. put them on before even the first wear of the shoes.</li> <li>Use body glide (but not where you want to put the blister bandaid on the heel -- until the shoes are broken in enough to stop wearing bandaids.)&nbsp;</li> <li>Do not rely on one pair of shoes for travel where you will be walking a lot. I know it goes against all accepted travel lore, but the more shoes the better if you plan to walk!! I bring 4 different shoes or more on almost any trip over a couple of days. A change is as good as a rest and if you have blisters can mean the difference between continued fun or pure misery.&nbsp;</li> <li>Wear socks where you can. My heels are so narrow that those little sockettes always come off (even the ones with grippers) but sometimes I can get them to stay on for a little while.&nbsp;</li> </ul> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708728 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 19:21:40 +0000 Liz A. 1708728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I haven't tried Geox. &nbsp;Thank you for the tip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708578 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 16:04:31 +0000 Jane 1708578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Liz, have you tried Geox? I have a pair and they are lovely - supportive, smart, black with white sole, and they go in the washing machine on a super gentle wash and come out with gleaming soles again! I have reasonably fussy feet but can walk miles in these if needed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708548 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 15:03:02 +0000 Isabel 1708548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liz , I feel that this is the HEWI of my lifetime ! &nbsp;UGH ! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck in your search.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708545 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 14:57:14 +0000 Liz A. 1708545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the suggestions! &nbsp;I'm not totally desperate, because I can always wear running shoes, even though they don't make me feel too fab.</p> <p><b>Kristin</b>, the Flyknits look like a strong contender.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I think there is an Ecco store in one of the malls near me, so I will have to pop in and see what they have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708407 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 07:50:52 +0000 Kristin SF 1708407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Nike Flyknits are, hands down, my most comfortable sneaker. They are knit material that feel like socks, so it's like wearing socks with sneaker soles. They are light on the feet, too. I highly, highly recommend them!</p> <p>I have wide, high volume feet. I ordered these through the Nike website and was able to purchase a Wide size, and customize the color, too.</p> <p>Good luck and have a great vacation!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.whowhatwear.com/kendall-jenner-nike-free-flyknit-sneakers">http://www.whowhatwear.com/ken.....t-sneakers</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708354 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 02:48:35 +0000 Liz 1708354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If blisters are your main concern, make sure you take moleskin or other foot protectors, along with body glide. Or maybe for the trip, just stick to shoes that you've already broken in and know are blister-safe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708316 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 01:50:57 +0000 MrsK 1708316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my new Supergas for a 3-mile walk today, and now I have blisters on the backs of both of my heels. &nbsp; I had on no-show socks too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708293 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 01:00:53 +0000 Angie 1708293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These Eccos if you have low volume feet. I wear them each day to walk Sam.</p> <p>And these AMAZING sneaks from the NAS too. I also second what Inge and Suz have suggested.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708259 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 23:11:44 +0000 Anna 1708259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I forgot to mention all my Superga are lace ups. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708258 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 23:10:51 +0000 Anna 1708258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pretty much only wear Superga. I think they are slighty wider but can be laced so they stay on your feet really well. I have 6 pair of them in all different colors. I have a really high arch and have never had any trouble. I have worn them on all day shopping trips where I have to do a lot of walking. However, they are quite heavy compared to many other sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708142 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 18:32:13 +0000 Liz A. 1708142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Sylvie</b>. &nbsp;Luckily, my feet are decidedly unfussy. &nbsp;I never get foot pain even walking long distances in ballet flats or Toms. &nbsp;My main concern is blisters. &nbsp;I may try the Supergas at home too.</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, good news about the Tigers. &nbsp;Maybe I can give them a try as well.</p> <p>The Tretorns and the Cole Haans look cute too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708126 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 18:08:41 +0000 Sheryl 1708126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feet are very individual.&nbsp; I have walked a lot in Tretorns T56 with an insert. You can also look for very low cut socks (sorry, can't think of the name, but some are made by Smartwool, I think) to increase your options. Some Keds are more supportive than others, so they may work, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708124 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 18:08:03 +0000 Jaime 1708124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually wear my Tigers without socks and never have an issue at all-actually much more comfy no sox than my other fashion sneaks (superga, Veja and Paladium) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708110 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 17:30:29 +0000 sylvie55 1708110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of Superga slip-on sneakers. They're cute but not particularly supportive. I have fussy feet, and wouldn't want to wear them if I was doing a lot of walking.

They make great walking shoes if the last fits your foot well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708040 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:28:41 +0000 Inge 1708040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All feet are different of course, but I am loving my Cole Haan ZeroGrands. Have walked entire days in them, during city trips, days at amusement parks etc.<br />The light grey suede is low contrast and works well with most of my outfits. I don't see that colour in suede anymore on the Nordstrom website, but the second pair below is a similar shade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708037 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:26:05 +0000 Jaime 1708037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have extremely fussy feet and never met a "fashion" sneaker I didn't have to put orthotics in until I found the Onitsuka Tiger. There is great arch support in these and I can walk all day. They are my go-to for sightseeing where I want to look nice.&nbsp; They come in a million color combos as well. link to amazon:<br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Onitsuka-Tiger-Mexico-Fashion-Sneaker/dp/B00HVVH3AG/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1470320575&amp;sr=8-2-fkmr1&amp;keywords=onitsa+tiger" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Onitsuka-Tiger-Mexico-Fashion-Sneaker/dp/B00HVVH3AG/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Onitsuk.....8&#038;amp</a>;</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-cute-sneakers-for-a-lot-of-walking#post-1708033 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:21:56 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1708033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Give the Converse All Star II a try.
