Weddingbee boards

I have shoe issues.  Heels, flats, whatever... it doesn't matter, it seems like the only shoes that I can wear if I have to walk more than a block or two are my reefs and my mizunos.  I'm really looking to change this and am looking for suggestions of either cute sneaker-ish shoes or comfortable non-sneakers that can take a mile or two of walking.

Any suggestions so I can stop being the girl with nice jeans and a sweater and raggedy old running shoes?

@bakerella:  Those are super cute.  Do they stay on well?  That's one issue that I've had with shoes for years... I think I finally figured out that it's because my arch is so high it's actually above the side of some shoes.

@KatNYC2011: Ooo, the top siders are a good idea.  They give me total flashbacks to childhood (those and similar beaded moccasins were all over the little mini preppy kids in my elementary school) but I bet they'd look really cute under jeans.

I'll check out the asics too - I ordered some basic black pumas a few days ago but need to at least exchange them because they're too big and now I'm having second thoughts on them.

They're not that cute, and they don't look like they offer much support, but I can walk for hours and hours when I wear my TOMS.

if you like the shoe look, I have never had more comfortable shoes than my sperrys! I'm a hardcore flipflop girl but I can't resist the boat shoes every now and then

Thanks for all the suggestions!

@CorgiTales: I like the first one (and I think that brand comes in wide which is always a bonus).  I'm still paranoid about the falling off issue, but may give them a shot.

@bakerella:  I was looking at the mary jane section on Zappos though I'm pretty picky about how they look... there's a pair of Clarks that I may order though.

@sloth:  I've seen Toms before on weddingbee... I'm not so big on the look but for 50 bucks may have to give them a try.

@etrebin85:  Those are super cute, though I've found that the Cole Haan Nike Airs I've tried are just not built for my feet (sooo narrow on me).  Which was a massive disappointment because I loved the amount of support.

@NauticalBride2011:  Those are so cute.  I can't really see myself wearing them though.  Probably because I am boring and afraid of things not matching.

@Cash000:  Those were totally huge when I was a kid, too.  I grew up on the east coast, near the shore so yeah they were all over.  I will check out their website, thanks.

@lilmiss26: oh wow I never thought to see if sanuk made real shoes! they are my favorite favorite flipflops! (yoga mats!)

Rockport shoes are so damn comfortable.

For comfy shoes and boots, I love Naturalizer. They also have Wide and I tend to find heels there that I can walk around the city in all day. If you have an outlet mall nearby, I highly recommend their outlet store for great deals! I got a great pair of mary janeish heels last year that have an elastic panel under the buckle part (I love that it covers my socks) which sound like they would be perfect for you if they still make them.

Wow, I don't even know how to help you. Pretty much every shoe I walk in hurts after like an hour! I must not be supporting my arches enough. :(

OMG you guys are amazing.  I am going to order a whole bunch of these and maybe the next time I go out, I won't have to be that girl in running shoes.

@bakerella:  OK, I am giving in to the massive cuteness of the Jessica Simpson ballet flats.  I know odds are high they'll fall right off my feet and I'll have to return them but they are too cute to resist!

I also ordered a pair of sperrys so we'll see how those go - they even had one of my favorite style/colors in wide at zappos.  Though assuming the ballet flats don't work, I'm probably going to try one of the other suggestions, too.  Seriously - so much amazing shoe advice on weddingbee.  :-D
