I am a bridesmaid in my childhood friends wedding and they are all planning on wearing silver heels. That is way out of the question for me. The doctor told me I should either wear tennis shoes, hiking boots, or crocs for the rest of my life. I was wondering if you knew of any other brands that are super wide, yet super supportive and comfortable and that look semi-okay fashion wise. Thanks for your help!
Wide Shoes Store. Visit them, or Google one closest to you.
Buyer beware when it comes to buying shoes online, and I do not rec. using PayPal. I got screwed, took 3 years for my credit. Avoid buying shoes, on sale that states: "Final Sale No returns."
I bought 2 pair of shoes, $700 worth @ Zappos, where they have free shipping & free returns. I am a 5 1/2, so I bought a size 6. Returned them. Ordered a 5, too small. I saved $700.
I went to Nordstrom's, they're having shoe sales. Found 2 shoes, both less than $300. Both were rated as 'best comfortable shoes for walking'. BTW: I wore one of the boots for 4 hours, and I didn't even do that much walking, mostly standing on the same spot . . . . and I was already limping. I took it back the following day! I found the perfect boots, from Piperline, finally after 4 tries! I found a second pair @ Clark's, just next door to our hotel room in Spain, most comfortable boots in the world!
My son bought a pair of Nike beach sandals. They didn't come in his size, so he bought the one larger. They weren't sold in stores! He was walking around sandals too big, only because he didn't want to pay for return shipping and re-stocking fees.
Try different sizes. Not all size-8 shoes fit the same, even from one designer.
Walk on an uncarpeted surface. This is the only way to test how shoes will feel when pounding the pavement. Shoes that are good for some, may hurt your feet. Just saying!
I don't know which country you live in
There are many brands like Vallaverde, Ara, Scholl , Dr. Fischer, Birkenstock, etc that have supportive and comfortable shoes for people with feet problems , yet they look like normal shoes.
Not very trendy, but semi-okay.
Kind of a bit for grandmothers, but not Crocs.
There are also manufacturers of shoes for people who have diabetes.
They are soft,and have no stitches that can hurt the feet.
Sellers of orthopedic stuff usually know the brands.
P.S.
Tennis shoes are not comfortable at all.
