Someone a few pages unthread suggested Easy Spirit for my narrow feet. I’m aware that they sell narrow, but the styles are way too “old looking” for me. My 83 yo mom wears them.
That was me, @Fallgirl. I’m surprised that you don’t like ANY of them! They have traditional heels, cute walking shoes-things I’ve seen posted here in other brands. They have dressy sandals, typical sneakers, I can’t imagine they’re ALL ugly old lady shoes. I’ve gotten compliments on mine. What kind of shoes do you like?
I’ll have to take another look but truthfully any of the so called “comfort brands” like Clarks, Naturalizer do not seem to have the look I am going for. I love the cute shoes in J Crew and Banana.
You might consider Taryn Rose or AGL.
I agree with you @FallGirl… Most of the comfort brands just don’t look like the type of shoe I usually wear. Here is one Easy Spirit that might look cute in person
I have a couple of Josef Seibel shoes I like. A pair of flat sneakers and a pair of short boots. One pair of Clarks sandals that have cute beading on them. I used to wear Aerosoles when I worked in banking and had to wear pumps.
I love the look of Banana Rep shoes but they don’t seem well made to me.
Those are cute but they are in medium or wide - not narrow.
Aerosoles don’t come in narrow width either.
I live in boots Oct - March partly because my narrow heel seems to be ok in them.
FallGirl, I think Clarks moved away from their signature ugly clogs and began selling their European styles in the US. Even my shoe fashionista niece bought a couple of pairs of Clarks on sale. This is cute and comes in different colors in narrow, for example.
BR shoes are terrible and poorly made. JCrew shoes are definitely better made (in Italy!).
…,
Some thoughts…
There is a huge genetic component to foot problems.
People who say all heels are bad have only tried poorly designed heels. 
Kind of like when people complain pointy toe shoes compress their toes. Well, duh, you buy the size such that the narrowing doesn’t start til past your toes. You don’t jam your toes into a triangle; how dumb is that?
Oh, probably about as dumb as buying shoes with a point that sticks out an inch and a half longer than your foot? 
I prefer shoes that are shaped like feet. Since I have arthritis in my big toe, I can’t wear heels higher than about an inch. Fashion be damned–give me comfort shoes!
Lol. Shoes shaped like feet are called SOCKS. Any shoe with a sole, no matter how it is shaped, will constrain your foot and will change the way you walk.
Bunsenburner posted those cute red shoes which reminded me of my pet peeve with most flats - the toe box is so flat that it pushes down on the top of my toes. So either the shoe is uncomfortable - or, if the leather is soft enough it gets stretched out and the outline of your toes is visible. Not a good look.
It really depends on the brand,the shoe, and the fit. When I was younger, I rarely went over three inches and that’s still my comfort limit, not including a platform, if any. I have a pair of Aquatalia three inch boots that are so comfortable, I can wear them all day. I have some four inch heels that are mainly for sitting or going out to dinner, no real walking. I can wear them to an affair, but have to take them off to dance.
I teach. I know that after a few hours of standing on even short heels,I ache. My back and legs hurt. Pointy toe shoes resulted in ingrown toenails. I do not want to wear shoes a size larger than I need. Never mind that my heels will be coming out.
Obviously people make their own choices. If you can wear heels and they do not hurt and/ or do damage, and you like the look, go for it. But woman should not be made to feel that they need to wear heels to look professional or sexy or attractive.
I resisted wearing the “shoes good for the feet” but we’re not stylish in the past.But I now have a pair of Clarks and Merrills sandals that are more comfortable than sneakers. I’ve worn them the last two summers at the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Glacier and the Tetons. Admittedly not to work or for anything dressy. Haha.
I have also worn some Sofft shoes and sandals. They had sandals in narrow a few years ago but I could not find similar this year.
But they are not a size larger than you need. They are the size you need - it does not matter what the box says if the shoe fits. 
“Oh, probably about as dumb as buying shoes with a point that sticks out an inch and a half longer than your foot?”
That’s where we smaller-footed women have an advantage. At a 7 - 7.5, I can easily wear a pointed toe and my feet don’t look too big!
Almond-toe shoes look pointy-toed and work great for folks of all shoe sizes. I just don’t get why folks get all wrapped up about their feet looking big. I am by no means a tall person, and I wear size 40 and don’t give a rat’s behind if they look size 40.
Agree @morrismm , I teach 5th grade. I’m on my feet from 7:45 until after 4: 30 with a 40 minute lunch. There may be some folks who find heels fine all day who are mostly at their desks, conference meetings and presenting online.
I’d like to hear from someone over 45 who is actually standing and moving and crouching down, standing up, reaching all day long - what are the shoes that you still find comfortable when you get home? I would love to benefit from your experience. Extra credit if they are cute in size 9.5.
The one good thing about being tall/having long feet now - the average size is getting bigger.
A lot of my tennis friends have issues with losing their big toenails because of the constant jamming of said toe into the front of their shoe during the run and stop of tennis. It’s super gross. I’ve got all these sketches in my art notebook for tennis shoes that don’t cause this, but I don’t know if people would wear “funny” looking tennis shoes that use the bone of the foot to “brake” the foot while you run. I may have to do a kickstarter for it.
Either that or a kickstarter for cute fake toenails to hide the scary 'effed up toebeds from sports!
My daughter was born with bunions. Has my high arches. Can anyone recommend nice career type shoe?
