I need comfy fashionable shoes for walking around New York? Any suggestions?

Question

I need some comfy walking shoes for when i go to New York next month. I went to London last year only for 3 days and by the end of the trip i could barely walk after wearing pumps. My calves, ankles and the balls of my feet were causing me agony. I'm going to New York for a week so need something that will be comfy and will last.

I need something supportive but which will also look ok with cropped trousers and skirts.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, Lea x

Answer 1

I just walked ten days through Italy.  No pretty heels will work if you are truly out and about.  However, a plain black or tan pair of Merrell or Columbia will look good enough and feel incredible.  I opted for a tan pair of Columbia because they were waterproof (Venice Italy) and had a tempurpedic like insole.  (Adding a Magellen insole to other shoes helps a lot too.)  Go to a large shoe store and try on several styles of these two brands.  However, if you are truly worried about being fashionable--- i.e. you're going with a new boyfriend or intend to find one- you'll just have to be uncomfortable.

moonboots

Answer 3

I don't know if they're still available but I have a pair of Kenneth Cole mules in gold that have a sneaker bottom, but is dressier than a sneaker.  Also if you actually need a comfortable heel that is not a sneaker style at all, I bought these at Kohl's and walk in them a lot every day and have found them to be very comfortable.

Fashionable but comfy to walk around in brands:

Clarks, Born, Kenneth Cole Reaction, Geox, and DKNY.

Take a look at all the shoes on www.zappos.com, they have so many shoes to choose from and the best return policy ever.

Answer 5

Nike Shox, i have the black ones they're pretty expensive but u can probably get them on sale for 80 dollars Nike never goes on sale lower than that but its worth it.

Sketchers!!!
