Here goes.
1. My two pairs of Think! Aida shoes--the d'Orsay style, in gray below, and the sling-back style, in black--have been wonderful. The gray ones especially, because they are newer. They took me all over Paris the summer of a heat wave there.
2. The Mephisto Yael sneaker, shown below in black and white with snake print. These were the other pair of shoes I wore all over Paris in the heat wave. They are frequent travelers with me.
3. Naot Kedma oxfords. I no longer wear these, because I've moved on to other styles. But they were super comfortable for lots of city walking. I still look for other Naots with the same footbed. (You can research the types
here, on the Naot website; all the shoes in the same collection should fit the same.)
4. Mephisto Sabatinas are my latest comfy oxfords. I will say they aren't s perfect a fit on my feet as the Naots were, but these are still very comfy and excellent for walking.
5. Mephisto Korie flat is one of my newest sneakers. I think they might be made on the same last as the Yael. They were very comfy right out of the box.
6. Blondo Vinita moto boot. They have zero arch support, so I like to wear them with SuperFeet 3/4 inserts. They will go the distance, AND they are waterproof. They have traveled New York City with me more than once. I bought the . . .
7. Born ROA bootie as an update to the Blondo moto bootie, but the Borns aren't waterproof, so I still wear the Blondos when I need protection from water.
8. Blondo Volley tall boot. More comfortable footbed than the Vinita, so I don't have to use the SuperFeet, although sometimes I do use them. These boots are comfy and warm enough for wet weather.
9. Munro Bradley is a great, casual walking bootie. I bought these to replace my Born Troye, which were great long-distance city walkers, but which had just gotten too beat-up looking for my style.
10. Jo Ghost lace-up booties are great for walking, because they conformed to my feet and feel like they were made for me. They don't have a lot of inner support, but somehow they just work.
11. Cole Haan Grand Pro tennis shoe is a recent addition to my sneaker capsule. Love them. They are so light! They don't have a ton of support, but they have it just where I need it, and I love that the insole is fabric-covered, so you can wear them without socks, and your feet don't stick to the insoles.
12. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Platform sneakers in gold joined my sneaker capsule the same day as the Cole Haans. I thought these would be mainly for looks--not an all-day walker. But wow, they are giving the "comfort" shoes a run for their money. Surprisingly good for walking. I haven't tested them for very long distance, and frankly, on a trip, I'd probably grab the Cole Haans first.
I'm sorry to say I don't have a sandal recommendation for walking lots of distance! My Think! options have to fill that role for now.
