You can also get adhesive heel cushions and things like that. The ‘Feet’ section in any good pharmacy is a whole new world.

I have a terrible history of convincing myself that they’re comfortable in the shop, though, so it will require a lot of serious thought in the shop.

In the warm weather, I will wear a skirt with comfy sandals.

For other dress occasions like weddings, I have a comfy pair of black pumps that I bought at a dance studio. I figured that shoes made for hours of dancing would be comfortable and they are.

I always feel sorry for the women I see teetering around on really high heels. Their feet must just ache at the end of the day.

I must admit to having purchased some ballet flats recently, and they have been really comfortable and seem to be acceptable at the moment…

I have problems enough buying shoes for my monstrous feet! Let alone ones that are comfortable for walking and go with bare legs!

*sigh*

I guess flip-flops wouldn’t cut it with a work skirt?

http://www.trippen.com/ – I’ve got two pairs. Ok, I’m not female and I don’t wear a skirt, but they’re designed for both feet AND aesthetes.
