Can we talk comfortable shoes?

Every day I go to court and see the young lawyers in their high heels. Yes, I wore them too back in the day. But those days are gone and I want to have healthy feet for me to go the distance.

I got a lot more walking to do! So, I am VERY interested in comfortable shoes. How about you?

I predominately dress business casual, and occasionally wear a suit. Most days, I am wearing pants and flats. For the times when I wear a skirt suit, I wear low heels.

But that doesn’t mean they have to be ugly!

Life Stride Flats

When I wear pants, I usually wear a pair of these. Actually, I own three of these in three colors! Tan, blue and black. Here they are.

Here’s what mine look like!

Naturalizer Dress Pumps

If I wear a skirt, I like to wear a little heel. Notice I said – little heel. Any more than an inch would be dangerous for me – aging and klutzy. These are the little heels I wear.

Here’s what mine look like:

Naturalizer Sandals

I have 2 pairs of Naturalizer sandals and I love them! The open toe ones are for when I have my nails polished. When they aren’t polished, the toes stay inside.

Here’s what mine look like:

Walking/Sports Shoes

I used to pay $100 for good walking/running shoes. No more. I discovered these shoes at WalMart and they are awesome! They usually sell for about $19.97 and I buy a couple pairs at a time. When one is looking raggedly, I swap them out for a new one. Super comfy!

I love these!

No, I’m not a big shoe collector. In fact, my 20-year-old son has more shoes that I do!

But the shoes I have are all shoes I love and are all shoes I wear regularly.

Who has energy or time for anything else?

  1. Hi Christine and welcome to Midlife Share the Love Party! These days I’m definitely a flats girl or joggers. Last month I was a guest speaker at a function and had to wear heals. That was a shock to the system, trying to balance 🙂 Comfort doesn’t need to mean ‘without style’. There are many stylish designs for those of us who don’t want to be tottering in the clouds as we walk. Have a great day and thanks again for linking up. #MLSTL

  2. Found you at #MLSTL and Oh my goodness! How timely is this article! I was out shopping this afternoon (in my sport casuals) and watched a woman my age hobbling – literally hobbling – along after her husband wearing 6″ spike heels with 2 ” platforms under the toe. I did that in my younger days and my feet ached then!
    I will always love a classic high heel but those days are gone for me now. I rarely need a dressy shoe but still keep a coupleof pairs of lovely 2″ heels in my closet.
    My despair currently comes from the fact that my all-time favourite shoes are a pair of flats I bought from a street vendor in Barcelona two years ago – they are nearing the end of their life span and next time I’m in Spain I shall buy a dozen pair in every clour possible!

  4. Shoes are such a big deal for me. And comfort.
    It’s just so important to take good care of our feet! I’m going to Pin this post for future shopping reference!

  6. Yep, now I’m not working (much) I opt for flats most of the time but I make sure they’re pretty! I’m a little addicted to moccasins which my feet love me for.
