Hahahaha, I have seen those before but I really like the modern touch of the removable corns and bunions. And why is Fruitbat not here yet?

If you don't have shoe stretchers, you can fake it. Buy the shoe stretch leather spray (you can get it at shoe repair stores or, sometimes, places like Target). Then take an older pair of socks, and stuff them *really full* with newspaper. Spray the inside of the shoe, then stuff the stuffed sock down into the toe. Deb, you can also try using leather cleaner or saddle soap, or something. Really work the stuff into the leather. Last resort... take 'em to a shoe repair store and explain why they hurt and see what they come up with. They may be able to soften the leather. Or figure out a way to sew or glue on a thin piece of suede to the underneath part so the braiding doesn't rub. I love Stuart Weiztman's!!! And really, those boots? The most comfy, even with the 4" heels! I wore them on a trip to my office in the Bay Area. The second time I wore 'em, I wore 'em traveling and all day, and then all the next three days. Not a blister or sore foot. And the TSA folks? Whenever there was a woman scanning carryon stuff... every single woman picked up the boots and just drooled!

I missed a shoe thread??!!! I love shoes!! I have comfortable shoes, practical shoes, pretty shoes you can walk in, pretty shoes that are just for standing around in. One day my husband had the nerve to ask me why I had so many of the same kind of shoes. WHAT? I don't have the same shoes. Yes, you do, look at all the black shoes you have. Those are all completely different. Those are black flats, those are black dressy flats, those are black pumps, black dressy sandal...all different. sheesh! my latest obessions are wedges. being short, i can where high heels in the day and not look like a hooker or a Carrie Bradshaw wannabe.

since you guys are all so good with shoes perhaps you could recommend a work shoe for me. I usually wear Easy Sprit walking shoes. I walk to and from work every day, so pumps just won't work, but I have been trying to find a nice sandal-type shoe that won't give me blisters from walking. I always walk, don't drive, so a comfortable show is important. Any ideas?

I absolutely love Aerosoles. Some of their shoes are stodgy, but you can find some really nice styles there. I even have one pair (they're sadly getting worn now) that I was wearing when I got asked by Stacy London (from What Not to Wear) if they were Manolo Blahniks. I'm not kidding. They were $59 Aerosoles!!! thboHA

Dipo, why not find a pair of pumps that are perfect for work and just leave them in your desk drawer changing into your walking shoes for the walk back and forth?

Clarks has some really cute sandals that are pretty dressy and yet are comfy for walking. Last summer, I bought several pairs of Clarks sandals (brown and black) since I was walking to and from the train station (both here and in OC). Some of them have small wedge heels that are a bit dressier. I had a problem with trying to leave a pair of pumps at the office. Some days, the pair I left didn't really "go with" the outfit I was wearing. And I didn't like lugging a pair of shoes around with me since I already had by rolling briefcase, lunch bag (clipped onto the briefcase), purse, and coffee mug.

I wear my sneaks to work and carry my dress shoes in my bag. I also keep a pair of slippers at my desk.

Ugrace, been there done that on leaving shoes at work. Doesn't work for me plus I just don't wear heels anymore, LOL. And I don't want to carry any extra shoes, so I will check out the Clarks and Aerosoles. I presume they have a website.

Escapee, I have those very same Skechers shoes! I had to get a full size smaller than normal, though ... they ran really big, eh?

Yep. I got mine at Gottschalks for $40. Hit the sales. My sis has them in white. They are great for walking, they have a really cushy sole, but also they are light and mesh, so the breath really good.

Payless also has some super cute sandals. I don't spend a lot on shoes, I am a payless girl.

I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT MY CROCS!!!! I wish I could wear them to work. I bought two new pairs in the thong style before our SD trip. My feet amazingly had noted bother me with all the walking we had already done that week so I chanced wearing them to the zoo instead of my tennis shoes. While my lungs did scream a time or two walking up the incredibly steep hills, my feet never uttered a word.

I'm such a shoe freak. These are some of my current favorite shoes. I have others that I like, but these are the only ones I could find pix of online. I'm not above going and taking pictures of my shoes, though -- LOL! These red strappy heels are Aerosoles:
These are Clarks and while not cheap, very comfy and good for those with a wide front foot:
Some others:
I told you guys I'm a fan of the whimsical/unusual shoe --and the mary jane style!
