I love Easy Spirit for dress shoes (though I have a pair of Hush Puppies black low heel shoes that are great!), Grasshoppers for casual shoes and Reebok and Nike for sneakers. A lot of my friends swear by New Balance sneakers and I did see some on clearance...but none in my size!
I would like to try them someday. I also have a pair of K-Swiss orienteering shoes I got in 1994 that I still wear quite a bit. they rock! (And the price was right...free!
)
I can't wear shoes with the real pointy toes because I get the worst blisters. Many dress shoes will also give me blisters on the top of my foot and on my heel. It's annoying.
