<p>That loafer is really cute and comes in wide! I always think I want a loafer but the front usually pinches in the wrong places.</p>
<p>Instead of oxfords with skirts, another style is a Mary Jane. </p>
<p>I tried on these sandals and found them very comfortable. <a href=“No results for Romika florida 05 grey lila | Zappos.com”>http://www.zappos.com/romika-florida-05-grey-lila</a></p>
<p>Romika is a comfort brand and the pair I tried on was adjustable so they could fit for quite a few types of feet. </p>
<p>Here is a type of Mary Janes that might work. <a href=“Romika citylight 01 tropic black leather + FREE SHIPPING | Zappos.com”>http://www.zappos.com/romika-citylight-01-tropic-black-leather</a></p>
<p>Some comfort brands to look at, Jambu, ahnu, spring step, pikolinos </p>
<p>I would add two things to the list:</p>
<p>Shoe styles are regional - you can’t get away with Danskos or like brands and look stylish in all markets and professions.</p>
<p>Some styles can only be safety worn if you are already married or never hope to be. My sister and BIL (who met in their freshman dorm) once had a break-up where clogs were the straw that broke the camel’s back. He has since flown the white flag on the clog front.</p>
<p>I think some reviews say the run a little wide, though mine are medium (have wide feet but went up a half size,) no pinching or rubbing, for me. I got them on sale at the mall Aerosol store (have to try on shoes, for size,) from the sweetest two kids working there- serious punk rockers. Looking for a discount place for another color in the loafer. </p>
<p>Would you wear 'em, emeraldkity
Aerosoles dont fit me. I need to have an adjustble instep, buckles or laces. It also helps if around the ankle is adjustable, like some Teva and Chaco sandals, so my heel doesnt stepout of the shoe.</p>
<p>I used to wear clogs from the Clog Factory.
Trying to think what I wore when I was dating. Probably keds & Birkenstocks.
Also had some platform bare trap sandals that were good for parties with lots of spilled beer.</p>
<p>I also like El Naturalista and Art Company.</p>

<p>Keds have always been too flat for me. Loved Saintfan’s comment can only be safety worn if you are already married or never hope to be. Back in the day, loved my Kalso Earth Shoes (like this but soft polished brown leather, not suede <a href=“Vintage Deadstock Earth Shoes Sandles Clogs Anne Kalso - Etsy”>Vintage Deadstock Earth Shoes Sandles Clogs Anne Kalso - Etsy) DH hated them and insisted I scrap them. Yeah, got them in SF and thought they looked great with those flowy skirts we wore. </p>
<p>I love danskos…but I NEVER wore them when I was teaching. I needed to wear a rubber sole, non slip shoe because the floors were slippery much if the time. I has aerosoles in multiple colors.</p>
<p>I have high arches, so shoes that cover the top part of my foot are sometimes difficult to fit. I have to be honest, though - I don’t care for clogs; they seem very clunky and masculine to me. </p>
<p>I really only like dansko sandals…the clogs are clunky…and I’ve never found a pair to be comfortable. I like my shoes to bend…and danskos and most clogs do not bend.</p>
<p>BB: the only thing run of the mill outfit I have owned in many decades was a…</p>
<p>MOG dress
with matching shoes</p>
<p>I am NOT wearing that dress again : )</p>
<p>It became a traveling dress (remember those jeans?) for a circle of friends. Who sometimes have need of such a garment.</p>
<p>Keds were very flat, but not any flatter than converse.( although I put insoles in those.
I also have to put insoles in my Docs, but they have a good sole.
Its actually easier wearing flat shoes with an insole, than trying to find supportive shoes where the insole matches up with my arch.
Last time I wore heels was at my daughters wedding reception, but it was on grass and no one else was wearing them, so I took them off!</p>
<p>Ha! Danskos = clunky but Docs don’t = clunky? Love it! I can’t wear Keds - too flat and too narrow. I actually use one of my vintage Docs for a doorstop ;)</p>
<p>I wasnt complaining about Danskos being clunky, only that the sole doesnt bend.
My Docs have a sole that bends.
I do wear them with skirts, flowy ones.
I wear my Merrell & Ariat boots more however.
Stiff ankles go with high arches, so its important to have a flexible shoe.
If I could wear my five fingers all the time I probably would, but they don’t look so good with dresses.
My daughter either wears her Chacos, or Luna sandals.
( both better than the flip flops she used to prefer)</p>
<p>The teachers at her middle school wore flip flops.
If I was going to be standing in front of a classroom, I would try Birkenstocks.
They arent great for walking, imo, but the ridge at the base of your toes is very comfortable.</p>

<p>Back when I was dating I lived in those canvas Chinese Mary Janes that cost about $2 a pair!</p>
<p>I cannot wear Danskos either. They are too stiff…</p>
<p>It’s hard to find shoes that are comfortable to wear all day for me. We have a SAS store in our city. There sandals and shoes work for me. The salesperson told me a lot of teachers and people who spend a lot of time on their feet all day buy shoes at their store.

<p>I wear a variety of shoes for my very complicated feet. I wear (kitten heels or flats) Chanel, JC< Delman (when I can find them) and Aerosoles, Bananna Republic. The aerosoles and BananaI wear most days. And a discovery…salon pas. Put them on the fee and I am good for hours. And I stretch everyday.</p>
<p>I have a Mary Jane style Naot shoe that is very comfortable for my high arch, narrow foot. I can wear them all day, but need a sock to improve fit.</p>
<p>I agree that very casual shoes won’t work in some professions/offices and at formal events. Luckily there are more and more comfortable, stylish choices. </p>
<p>“Some styles can only be safety worn if you are already married or never hope to be.” - I personally don’t agree with that. (Maybe I would if DH and I had not fallen in love in a casual college setting, friends at first.) But probably many women would agree. A flooring salesman a local home show once boasted that he could peg couples that were married vs not based on the female’s footwear. </p>
