I swear by my Danskos. I have a high arch and I under-pronate (supinate). Finding shoes can be a full time job. Even the Danskos need a bit of a stretch for my high instep, but I can walk forever in them. I only but Ingrid and Sonja styles. The comfort mocs at LL Bean work for me, too, but they are heavy. I require a flexible shoe, no support, lots of cushion. Wide toe box, too. Flats kill me - I need a 1/2" heel. Arch support is an absolute no-no for my wacky feet. What does your foot require? You need to find out.
Like above, go to a good indie shoe store and find someone who knows what a good fitting shoe actually is. Do the wet foot test to see what structure your foot has. Check the wear on your current shoes - do they wear on the inside or outside of the sole? How about the heel wear? These are important!!
One person's comfort is another's hell.

Nope, it is somehow generated by Fodor's. When I go on elsimoo's threads about her granddaughters dresses and shoes, I start getting ads aimed at teenagers. I am pretty sure it is not (only) my brower because it doesn't follow over onto any other websites.

Here is what the journalists, bloggers and fashionistas were wearing while working Paris Fashion Week. Some of it practical, some of it not, all of it chic.

I have learned that it is more about what is inside the shoe than the shoe itself. A couple of painful weeks in Europe with a pair of Ecco boots, a brand which had worked for me in the past, was averted by the replacement of its inner sole with s Superfeet walking sole (they come in different densities for different activity/impact). I always travel now withnSuperfeet soles, either already in the shoe or boot, or at hand to swap out for relief mid hike.
