Help with comfy shoes

[messykitchen]

I need black, flat dress shoes I can stand in all day for my new job. Does anyone have any recommendations under 50 bucks?

I am a big fan of the Payless Dexflex flats.

I have extremely plain Easy Spirit e360s that I got at dsw for less than $50. They're really padded and soft, but they don't breathe very well and I don't love them when it's hot out. They work for me on my feet teaching all day though.

Seriously, these. These are my catering/event working shoes.

You need to look for comfort brands.

Sofft
Aerosoles

Look somewhere like 6pm.com

My ultimate rec is Cole Haan, if there is an outlet near you you can get them at a great price.

I have about 3 or 4 pairs of black flats from Payless that I love.

I really like life strides for all day events. I get them off of 6pm.

Clarks always worked well for my super sensitive feet.

Do they have to be dressy? Honestly, I think you're better off investing in a pair of danskos if you're on your feet all day. You're going to be hurting in flats with no support. I wore black dansko clogs with my suits when I worked in a restaurant. You're looking at $140, but they last ages and get more comfortable with time.

Cole Haan--they have an outlet part on their site.

I'm a teacher and have always had trouble with foot pain. I wear the Payless Claire Scrunch flats every day and love them.

I'll third Sofft, Aerosoles and Life Stride and throw in Clarks/Privo. I have fond memories of Easy Spirits from years past.

Another thought is to go to a specialist store and have them measure your feet to make sure you're getting the right size. I'm an 8W but size up in mediums to an 8.5 or 9 which is actually problematic for my feet. If I stick to an 8W the arch is in the right place, the box is not too tight, and the shoe is the proper length so I'm not tripping. Also, for my less supportive shoes I purchased an insert (SuperFeet @ $50) that have saved my feet so much pain.

I`ve had Lifestride. I liked them the first two months, then they would kill my feet every day. I work on my feet everyday so I have to have really comfortable flats, I have yet to find a pair:/ Has anyone ever tried Tieks? I have heard of them, and I know they are expensive...but did you think they were worth the price?
