I also have narrow 9 1/2 size feet so finding cute comfy shoes is challenging. Thanks for posting this as I will also be looking at some of the recommendations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544439 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:30:58 +0000 Jjsloane 544439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy I didn't notice that, but no my purple ones (which I cannot find on the internet anywhere) are lower. </p> <p>Ok I stand corrected, I never would have guessed but I measure them and they are 4 inches, but the platform is 1/2 in at the toe and 3/4 inches at the base of foot so I didn't even notice. I usually have back ache and sore ball of foot from anything over 2.5 inches. </p> <p>Sofft are good too - forgot about those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544410 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:56:05 +0000 Angie 544410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried putting cushioning insoles in your pumps, Amy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544407 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:53:27 +0000 Kristine 544407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Born are very comfortable, I have a few pair.

I guess I should look into that.</p> <p>JJSloane, are your purple shoes 4 inch heels like the ones you linked to? They're very cute, but I don't think I could wear shoes that high all day long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544325 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:18:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 544325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree regarding Clarks - I have a few different pairs and they are extremely comfortable. Check out the Aerosoles website too - I have two pairs of their shoes and they are crazy comfortable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544322 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:06:40 +0000 Jjsloane 544322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have good luck with Clarks and Borns (Born Crown especially are super cushy - I wore my purple pair this week and they were the comfiest I wore)<br /> They're similar to these:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Born-Sprinkle-Slingbacks-Strappy-Peep-Toe/dp/B002YHWTHE/ref=sr_1_39?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1329595620&#038;sr=8-39" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Born-Spr.....38;sr=8-39</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544312 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 19:49:46 +0000 keruchina 544312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had good luck with Ecco ballet flat (and flatish) styles. It looks like they offer some mary jane's, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544282 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 19:11:56 +0000 lyn* 544282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find Clarks and Borns lack good/cute selection at under 2" ... if you're willing to go up to 3", they have much more selection. :)</p> <p>I have had luck with Hush Puppies for the 2" height - but I must confess my 3.5" Borns are by far more comfortable than my 2" Hush Puppies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544276 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 19:04:36 +0000 Jilly 544276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I highly recommend any shoes by Clarks or Born. I have wide feet with a narrow heel, and I've been most successful with these two brands. Clarks especially has a lot of arch support and cushioning, and has some styles that are more modern. Most heels are 2" or lower. Also, they last forever - you may get sick of them before they fall apart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-shoes-help#post-544270 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 18:59:55 +0000 Amy 544270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can any of you recommend comfortable low-heeled shoes for wearing to work? I need something with a decent amount of cushion but that still manages to look nice with skirts and dresses.</p> <p>Most of my shoes, while comfortable through the a.m., start making my feet unhappy mid-afternoon. Unlike my last job, where I spent most of the day stuck in a chair, this one has me running around a lot more.</p> <p>* I have narrow feet, so straps are good to keep shoes from slipping off<br /> * I'd prefer a heel under 2"<br /> * arch support would be nice </p>
