In some cases I don't need to. These are so soft and the elastic is so stretchy that they just mold to your foot.</p> <p>San--I had the same problem with the Swanns. I ended up having to go down a size and have the width stretched, and even then after a few wearings they stretched a bit more and now they slip a bit but not horribly. I have that problem a lot because my forefoot is so wide but my foot is so small. That's actually why I was so drawn to these. They DO stay on your foot. The only problem is that the back comes up quite high and bites into your ankle a bit. I'm going to try walking around the house with some bandaids to relax them a bit and hopefully that will solve it. If not I'll just take them to a cobbler and maybe they can trim the back down a bit. But they are definitely comfy enough to be worth it. They feel like slippers but with more padding.</p> <p>They don't look as sporty as I thought they would. Maybe it's because I got the silver. I think I can wear them with casual dresses and skirts though. I tend to not see shoes like this as being sporty anymore because they are very common in urban settings. So to me shoes like this say urban more than sport. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-shoe-alert#post-19117 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 19:03:05 +0000 Anonymous 19117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those do look comfy and they are cute. Did they pass the city walking test?<br /> I bought the Me Too Swans a while back and had to give them to my grand daughter because they wouldn't stay on my feet when I walked. I tried various foot pads with no luck. These AK's I like, looks like they will stay on with that elasic in the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-shoe-alert#post-18997 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:49:57 +0000 Angie 18997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks and good for you! Keep us posted on whether they make your 8-hour mark. I’ll pass on the info to my sportier clients. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-shoe-alert#post-18991 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:29:35 +0000 Becky 18991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could wear the medium width? Or were you able to get a wide? The shoebuy link showed only medium width. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-shoe-alert#post-18984 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:11:00 +0000 Ana 18984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, thank you Maya! Let us know how they fare in the city walking test, will you? I'm always looking to build my collection of nice 8 hour shoes, and they are a bit sporty, but I bet under bootleg or trouser denim you could hardly notice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfortable-shoe-alert#post-18983 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:06:53 +0000 Maya 18983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As queen of the fussy foot club, I feel it is my duty to inform the masses when I find a comfy pair of shoes.</p> <p><a href="http://www.shoebuy.com/ak-anne-klein-saba/239757" rel="nofollow">http://www.shoebuy.com/ak-anne-klein-saba/239757</a></p> <p>I'm linking to shoebuy because they seem to be gone from Zappos. They're sportier than what I'd usually go for, but they felt fantastic when I tried them on. The leather is super soft and the fabric strap is very flexible. Best of all the heel actually stays on my foot and doesn't slip off. I got the silver ones and am keen on duplicating them in black if they pass the city walking test. I got them on sale for $35 at Lord and Taylor if you have one nearby. </p>
