GOOD SOLES: COMFORTABLE SHOES DIRECTORY

To me, comfortable shoes mean that my feet are happy to be in these shoes - happy to walk, to stand and just generally be in the shoes for a few hours in a row. Comfortable shoes do not have to be frumpy, it really is not a requirement. Here are a few brands to consider - most of them I love and have worn for years. These brands design comfortable footwear, made with attention to the sole - the fundamental part of a shoe. I think you'll find plenty of beautiful, fashionable, cute and even artistic designs browsing these sites. The list was last updated in May 2019. Enjoy!

  1. I'm a new subscriber and I love your blog. Certain Finn Comfort sandals are wonderful for problem feet. They're expensive but they last forever and I can purchase new inserts when they wear out. I think they're attractive. I also wear Fitflops, but only certain styles work for my feet. For closed toe shoes, I wear Aravon, made by New Balance, and Brooks running shoes, because they come in wide widths. I just gave away three beautiful pairs of Dansko sandals because they aren't wide enough anymore and can't be adjusted when my feet swell up. I don't know what I'd do without Nordstrom and Zappos, but I've had good luck finding shoe bargains on Amazon, too.
