Coach Sneakers

This may or may not help you out because I think that you are looking for a dressier shoe to be able to wear to work. Nonetheless, I LOVE my new balance mules. My son was born in August last year and it was so nice not to have to tie shoes in my last trimester and I could walk all around the city in these shoes.

They always have them for around $50 at the Nordstrom women/children sale, which just happens to start today. :-)

Good luck.

You need shoes that will breathe and expand. New Balance shoes are ideal for both and a great exercise shoe and can make them casual wear, but you do want to keep separate shoes for casual and exercise. Your exercise shoe will last longer and provide a different support than a casual shoe. And you definitely want the support and will spend less.

Hope that helps!

I'm not a shoe person, so there is no shoe that I love. However, many years ago, I discovered "Clarks" and have a few pairs (Sandals, boots, and slip-ons) They are the most comfortable shoes ever invented. They have a store at Woodfield, and also there is an outlet at the premium shops in Aurora. They can cost in the range of $40 at the outlet and $60-$70 at the mall.

I recommend you try them out. Once you do you'll be buying a few pairs from them.

I have a pair of coach that look like keds not comfy! I am hoping if I break them in I will wear them more..So far no!

Coach sneakers have absolutely zero arch/foot support. You may be better off going to Dick's Sporting Goods or Lady Foot Locker and trying to find a pair of 'fashion' sneakers that also have the benefit of cushioning, comfort, and support.

*edited to add: Mom LK mentioned Keen shoes - FABULOUS choice!

I saw a pair on clearance at a Dept store a few weeks ago and tried them on. They were NOT comfortable at all to me. I ended-up buying a pair of Nikes.

I know you said that your feet can't take summer shoes, but I find Keen sandals one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They have the fit and comfort of an athletic shoe and I can walk for miles in them. I prefer them over sneakers during the summer time.

i have coach sneakers and wore them all they way up until the last few weeks of my pregnancy (because my feet swelled so bad that the only thing i could wear was flip-flops). i think they are incredibly comfortable and cushioned inside.
