My big problem is trying to find shoes that are good for your feet but don't look cumbersome and aren't necessarily rubber soled. Something about me needs a shoe to "click". Walking in rubber soles isn't that fun for me.
If you know of some brands that you think are great let me know. I've seen some. I tried Easy Spirit shoes and they were O.K., but that darn rubber sole.
I've seen Clarks that look nice. Anyone know anything abou them?
I need some basic loafer type dress shoes. Don't need heels. (Tall chick)
Thanks!

For loafers, I highly recommend Eastland. I have a pair that I've had for twelve years and they are still going strong. They do look well-loved, but in that (these are my favorite shoes and I wear them whenever possible) kind of way. Sadly, they have rubber soles, but I haven't found better loafers or clogs anywhere. (You can take the girl out of the 70's, but.....) Here's a link to their online store. http://www.eastlandshoe.com/eshop/about.asp |

Try The Walking Company--I think they are in malls nationwide. They sell all kinds of euro shoes that are comfy. I have a pair of Birkenstock loafers that are a few years old and they still make them. They are pretty flat, and are not the granola looking Birks. I got a pair of Mephistos recently and they are so comfy, too. I am a shoe snob, (not in the Sex in the City way with the Jimmy Choos or Manolo what'shisface) but I do normally only buy what are known as euro comfort shoes--dansko, mephisto, some clarks and born, birkenstocks, merrell, etc. I went through a period of a few years when my feet felt as though I was walking on shards of glass, so when I am not wearing flip flops (rainbows, reefs, and toegoes only--the $5 ones do not work!), I wear the euro shoes. They are expensive, but worth it when you can walk across the floor in the morning without saying "ouch, ouch, ouch"!  |

I have fallen in love with Keen and my husband and son love Merrells. I got them at this track & field store at the mall. They are awesome. I am not sure if they are all rubber soled but OMG they are so comfy and my feet never hurt after 8 hours out on the tarmac.

My son got the cutest Keen sandals this summer right before camp--red ones with yellow laces. They are so cute and he is just on the cusp of needing adult shoes....so these were probably the last time I get to pay the kids' price on them.

I love my clark shoes. I have these http://clarks.zappos.com/n/p/dp/16407382/c/216.html and I wear them to work a lot. I think they look fine with a casual skirt of pants. I also own these http://clarks.zappos.com/n/p/dp/16408161/c/3.html in black and brown. I wear them with pants or jeans. Most department stores have clarks for cheaper than the clark website or clark stores. I need a pair of "normal" looking heels. My feet look bad in the super pointy shoes that are popular. I want about a 2 inch heel. I think I'm looking for old lady shoes, you know a classic pump.  |

Ginger you are a woman after my own heart. I have the same Clark's and LOVE them. As for your old lady, classic pumps, I had found several years ago a nice pair of Aerosoles pumps. They are really comfy and have a nice rubber sole that doesn't slip.
