Let me preface this by saying I have weird/horrible/weak feet. I wear comfort shoe brands like Born, Korkease, Ecco, or Vionic almost exclusively. I have plantar fasciitis, high arches, and week legs so standing or walking for even extremely short periods – like more than five minutes can be painful – yay! All this means that I can’t just go buy a pair of shoes at Target, nope, I need special shoes for my special feet. So if you’re wondering if these are comfortable, yes yes they are.
- Birkenstocks – I just wrote an entire post on my love for Birkenstocks you can read here.
- Chaco Sandals – I wear these almost every day. For years I wore plain black but last year I designed my own pair and love how they turned out. I went with something a little more colorful that was good to wear to with dressier outfits as the black could be a little bit of an eyesore. Y’all nothing is better than putting on a pair of Chaco after a long hike – nothing! Oh, and I have done both toe strap and no toe strap – I like both so up to you! PS> Chacos are 25% off right now on Backcountry.com
- Michael Michael Kors Epidrills – I got these Michael Kors Espirdill platforms to wear for my rehearsal dinner and ended up wearing them almost every day to work. I love the little bit of lift I get from the platform and they are extremely comfortable. Tempted to buy these again just in case they don’t come back next season
- Eileen Fisher – These have been around for a year and while they are a little more expensive I think they are worth it – plus you can usually find a few styles on sale like here and here. I got these for walking around Europe and they were great another pair I throw on often and love the extra lift I get.
- Vionic Tennis Shoes – Vionic makes super comfortable shoes and I wore a pair of their white sneakers so much they are kinda gross but I still love them. Linking to similar styles by Vionic here.
- Born Sandals – I am looking at all my shoes as I write this and I have 3 pairs of sandals by born. The sandal can be tricky as there is often NO support. but these offer support with comfortable moldy footbeds and a little lift. I have an older version of these gladiators in black and these in gladiators in tan and these in tan as well.
- Rainbows – Been rocking the Rainbow Sandal (narrow strap) since high school – after I graduated from the Birkenstocks lol. The best shoe when you don’t want a backstrap… all my other sandals have backstraps, now that I think about it.
