I've been trying to find some good shoes to wear for work. Something professional, with a practical heel, and closed toed because it's almost winter. I bought one pair, which I've left at work and can't find a picture of online (But I'll edit one in when I grab it), and I thought they were the ones. They were amazingly comfy when I tried them on. And I got sportive and comfy-making inserts.
And they are comfortable. I can walk in them, I can run when I have to. But, they are NOT comfy after I've worn them for a couple hours. And this, is a distinct problem.
Unfortunately, it's a distinct problem I don't know to solve. And it's a problem for two reasons. One, is the obvious, my feet hurt all the time issue. The second, is that if what I have to wear are the semi-nice flip flops, I'm only able to wear pants to work (because I can't wear pantyhose and flipflops). Which means, I have three nice skirts that I'm never wearing, and one pair of dress pants that I wear every day.
What have you found for comfy shoes that still look nice? I'm looking at Fluevog.

And yes, ringing in with three digit price tags, this is really more in the realm of shoe-porn as my friends call it. I've heard they are well worth the price and last forever, but I can't really justify $300 shoes right now... Sigh.
If part of the job requires staying behind a desk for a significant amount of time, slip off the shoes. Problem solved. Or just make sure the legs are shaved and forgo the hose and go for the flip-flops. Because pantyhose is the enemy. THE ENEMY, I TELLS YA.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I need to be able to get up with no notice. So, I can slip off the flipflops (and I do), but not the nicer shoes because I can't put them back on without it being fairly obvious to guests that that's what I'm doing...
ReplyDeleteAnd I kind of link pantyhose. They make your legs look smooth and help firm everything up just a touch ;)
