I find summer/ warm weather much more difficult because I don't want to wear socks, while in winter I can put a cushioning insole in my normal low-heeled boots or booties and walk all day with no problem.</p> <p>You might look at Astrid's thread for some good ideas.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ith-skirts</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-702421 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 00:10:42 +0000 Brain of Jen 702421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try Walking on a Cloud <a href="http://www.walkingonacloud.ca/Categories/3-Womens.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.walkingonacloud.ca/.....omens.aspx</a></p> <p>All their shoes are geared towards comfort. The walking category is mostly runners, but I did find a few others there that I really liked. A lot of shoes in some of the other categories would likely be suitable as well. I have flat feet as well (narrow at the heel, wide at the front - I have flippers, lol), and I've gotten a lot of my work shoes from them and found them all to be really, really comfortable :)</p> <p>ETA: They have stores in the US and Canada, but the link defaulted to my location. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-702408 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:54:02 +0000 Suz 702408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually wear those Ecco walking shoes as running and gym shoes as well as walking shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-702382 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:30:05 +0000 peach451 702382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!

They are gear-ish but definitely don't look like a typical running shoe, just a dark/low-contrast lace-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-701522 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:51:47 +0000 Mita 701522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Naot has some fun shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-701511 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:37:57 +0000 JR 701511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could also check Naturalizer for possibilities. Many of their shoes are specifically engineered for comfort. My foot is a totally different shape from yours, so I can't recommend specific shoes from experience. I imagine that with flat feet, it would be especially important to get good cushioning in the soles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-701493 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:21:35 +0000 Kate 701493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Born oxfords make wonderful walking shoes. I traipsed all over Stockholm, Berlin and Berchtesgaden in mine earlier this summer. I have three pairs of these oxfords (all different styles) and I love them and wear them all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-701467 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:01:10 +0000 Suz 701467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feet are not narrow but are not wide, either, and my heel is very narrow - and Eccos work very well for that type of foot. Clarks come in a variety of widths, so that can be helpful. My arches are high, so what works for me might not work for you -but I am bumping this up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-701437 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:28:43 +0000 K. Period. 701437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so with you on this! I never ever wear athletic shoes when I travel. I just don't like the look of them. Unfortunately, I have wide feet rather than narrow, so I can't really recommend any shoes. Have you looked on Zappos, though? They stock a ton of comfort shoes, some of which are pretty amazing. I've found Indigo from Clark has very cute, surprisingly modern styling, so I can second Aparna's recommendation there. I also like European brands for walking shoes. I would recommend Think!, but they've recently gone from dressier shoes to more typical comfort shoes (cork soles). Maybe Earthies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-701424 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:11:32 +0000 Aparna 701424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought a pair of Clarksvery very comfy<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-UN-LOOP-Womens-Un-Loop-Flat/dp/B002P66J20" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-U.....B002P66J20</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-walking-shoes#post-701419 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:08:45 +0000 peach451 701419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got a small foot - size US 6-6.5, and my feet are pretty narrow (although, I don't have to buy my shoes "narrow."

Depending on the shape of your foot, you might try Eccos. Also Clark's, Soffts, and Borns. There's a great website called BarkingDog that gives recommendations for super comfortable but good looking shoes. </p> <p>I wore my Doc Martens Marcies all around the streets of New York for hours and hours on end without mishap or discomfort. </p> <p><a href="http://www.dmusastore.com/p-3419-marcie.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.dmusastore.com/p-3419-marcie.aspx</a></p> <p>I wore my Ecco Jump Mary Jane in a mountain town and on the easier trails: <a href="http://store.shoetopia.ca/index.php?product=204303-56930&#038;shop=1&#038;c=1&#038;familyFilter=Ecco" rel="nofollow">http://store.shoetopia.ca/inde.....ilter=Ecco</a></p> <p>If you can wear ballet style flats there are lots of options.

I get it, running shoes are comfortable... but I'm super opposed to wearing running shoes for anything else but running (and biking and hiking... you get the picture.</p> <p>So I'm looking for a comfortable and stylish walking shoe that I can wear on vacation. Something that's versatile enough to wear with many outfits but can survive the massive walking one tends to do while on vacation.</p> <p>So far, I found a pair of sperry's which seemed to have a thicker sole: <a href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/store/SiteController/sperry/productdetails?catId=cat90048DM&#038;subCatId=cat5320287&#038;showDefaultOption=true&#038;stockNumber=9174434&#038;skuId=***7********9174434*M075&#038;productId=prod1600093&#038;&#038;subCatId=cat5320287&#038;productId=prod1600093&#038;stockNumber=9174434&#038;subCatTabId=&#038;catId=cat90048DM&#038;productdisplayName=Women%27s+Tasslefish+Slip+On&#038;subcatdisplayName=Loafers+%26+Oxfords&#038;skuId=***7********9174434*M075&#038;pageIdentifier=productdetail&#038;catdisplayName=Women&#038;showDefaultOption=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.sperrytopsider.com/.....ption=true</a></p> <p>I also own a pair of cole hahn loafers which are very comfortable. Not sure if they'll last a whole walking day.</p> <p>And of course, the Biala Keely shoes Angie posted today were adooorable.</p> <p>Anyways, any input is much appreciated.</p> <p>-K </p>
