The Perfect Fit
 
I'd post this in with the shoe thread, however I'm asking a specific question to all you shoe ladies.

I've never been a huge shoe freak because I can't find the perfect fit. I have slightly wider feet (mostly because I stand on them for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week). I need to hear from you ladies what brands are good fits, but good buys (I'd be willing to splurge $100 to $150).

SERIOUS HELP HERE GALS! I'm proposing a HUGE Public Relations package to my company next week, and want to be looking HOT! I have crappy shoes now and need my best pair of business shoes!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most comfortable shoes I have ever bought are Easy Spirit. I know they tend to be stereotyped as "old women" shoes, but I have worn out every pair I have ever had. They are not super expensive, but are worth every penny you'll pay.

ETA: I have VERY wide feet and those are some of the few that fit really well!

You can get Naturalizer heels in wide widths. I believe you can also still get Franco Sartos and Enzo Angiolini in wide in selected widths as well.

I wear Easy Spirit for my teaching shoes and my feet NEVER hurt. When I worked retail and stood up all day, my feet KILLED until I got Easy Spirit loafers. They don't all look frumpy. They come in lots of styles and I am just now retiring a pair that I have worn about every other day to work since I started student teaching and then teaching (that was 2 years ago that I bought them!) They are very comfortable, flexible and light, so you don't feel like you are clunking around!

Found a pair I think I like.

Hootie, is that shoe you posted the picture of from Easy Spirit or Naturalizer? If so, I didn't realize they made such attractive shoes! Very nice :)

That one is an Easy Spirit. They've gotten a lot better but I will always think of the bunion ladies at Boston Store.

That's what I always thought of! But oh well. It IS a cute shoe. I'll just tell people they're something else (what I dunno).

Another cute shoe place was Aerosoles but I think they went out of business (at least their store shut down here in my town).

It really is cute for business. I have a few pairs of Naturalizer heels. I've also found that if I buy Nine West a half-size big it works for the width of my foot.

ETA: I forgot to say Aerosoles isn't a very high quality brand - they're kind of disposable.

You can get Aerosoles at Famous Footwear and places like that.
