I packed the wrong shoes for Manhattan :(

And now I'm at Macy's, potentially buying Sperry Topsiders.

Truth be told, I had no comfortable walking shoes that work with skirts, so there were really no "right" shoes to bring.

I did this for our England/Paris trip last month. I had blisters after wearing my "walking" shoes on the plane. I spent the rest of the trip in the Roman type sandals. It was okay except for being stepped on on public transportation.

Is there a Crocs store nearby? Don't laugh, the Kadee style (plain ballet flat) is really comfortable!

I think the answer is not yet. I read something the other day about a Pizza Hut Express/Tad's Steaks closing to make way for a Herald Square Crocs store.

There's one in Soho (Spring and Wooster maybe?) but I'm not sure where another one is.

I saw that one when I was there. It was across the street from a Chanel, which made me laugh. Somewhere Coco is rolling in her grave.

Sperry topsiders are totally blister-ful!

I would be looking for some comfy ballet flats....

I only know the one in Soho. If you're willing to spend a little money, I highly recommend Camper shoes. There's a store in Soho, on Spring Street, I think, but maybe it's Prince. If you're trying to save $, there's a DSW on Union Square that might have some discounted nice walking shoes.

Update: the Topsiders are better, but they are making this spot on the outside of my right foot ache.

Confession - as we said goodbye this morning, I glanced at your shoes and thought "cute" then "ohh, not for walking around NYC all day :-\"

Sorry your feet hurt. I hope you are able to break in the Sperry's!

I don't think of Topsiders as a walking shoe. I'm glad your feet felt better in them though. What kind of shoes had you been wearing?
