Reader Laurie asks:

When I wear jeans, I quite often reach for the athletic shoes simply because they are so comfortable. I know this is not the most stylish choice, but I'm not quite sure what to substitute. My standby ankle high boots look great with the jeans, but are really not comfortable enough for me. Any shoe suggestions (need to be comfortable enough for walking) for a casual jeans/sweater outing?

Hey Laurie:
For years I have gotten by with my black ankle boots for this situation, but lately (especially with this extra baby weight on my knees and feet) I desire an alternative. Like you, I need what I call a “weekend shoe”, footwear that is more stylish than sneakers, but can be worn all day.

Flats force your foot into an unnatural position – a foot will be most comfortable with arch support and a tiny bit of lift at the heel. To have comfort while walking, it’s nice to have decent structure around the foot and padding on the foot bed. Flats rarely have all of this.

Flats like this one from Privo take athletic styling and support and add it to the trendy silhouette of a flat. The perforated leather keeps your foot comfortable all day, and this styling could be worn with “no-see-um” socks, trousers socks or with bare feet and still look polished. I love the purple color – it is an unexpected neutral that can go with denim, neutrals, warm as well as cool tones. Pair with pumpkin, green, red or teal for a beautiful contrast. $84.95 at Nordstrom.

This loafer from Naturalizer has been rated often as being comfortable for walking and standing all day. The contrast stitching and athletic sole makes it a bit funky and artsy, and the blue color is another one of those unexpected neutrals. $59.98 at Macy’s.

This ankle boot by Rockport is sleek, stylish but far kinder to your tootsies than a classic ankle boot. Rockport has been creating innovative and comfortable footwear for men and women since 1971 and I have always had luck finding great walking shoes from this brand. $119.95 from Endless.

Hope that helps!

  2. Taryn Rose makes comfortable orthopedic shoes that are cute but can be rather $$$. Dansko clogs and variations are very comfortable as well, I like them in the snow because of their height and traction.

  3. Actually, flats may be better than heels. I’ve heard that the Masai people of Africa don’t have cellulite because they walk barefoot over uneven surfaces. FWIW.

  4. I’m a big fan of Danskos for keeping feet comfortable. I was at a convention in San Fran standing for 16+ hours at a time wearing the Rockport ankle boots and my feet were killing me. I realize 16+ hours is an extended period of time as the Rockports are generally my go-to boots.
    I went to look for alternate shoe and much to my delight found Dansko professional clogs which totally eliminated my foot aches.
    I have since bought Dansko sandals for the summer and am looking for boots for the winter. They are a bit clunky looking but your feet will love you!!

  5. I normally agree with you, Allie, but those loafers? I’d much rather see some cute sneakers — not to mention all the other cute flats out there. Maybe someone can pull those loafers off, but I simply can’t picture it. But then, I have a hard time seeing loafers not paired with mom jeans.
