GTKY: (NBR) Go to shoes

[mtnmomma13]

I may or may not have spent the better part of my morning looking for new black shoes. I had a pair that I LOVED and my dog peed on them yesterday morning. Of course they're leather and can't simply be washed and they are several years old so I can't replace them. So I've been searching for a replacement pair and am realizing how frustrating this is. But it also got me thinking, I have a few pair of "go to" shoes that I wear quite often. I don't have nearly the number of shoes I used to have, but I have WAY more than I wear regularly, because I go to the same 3-5 pairs.

So what about you? Do you have a go to pair of shoes? Any black, work appropriate, smallish heel shoes you want to recommend?!

I normally don't wear shoes with heels. Just plain black flats for me!

ETA: don't wear them to work. I normally am on my feet most of the day so I try to wear the most comfortable shoes I can.

I don't really wear heels and I work from home which means I'm barefoot. My go to shoes are my brown leather boots and converse.

I LOVE SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE my black pumps from Target (mosimo brand) but I can't find them anymore

Nine West are usually my go to if I can't get my Target ones!

I have a pair of Nike with memory foam flip flops and nike sneakers. My last pregnancy damaged my feet so snuthing under supportive hurts.

I don't wear heels. It's flats, boots, sperry type shoes

[hismom12]

I wear Danskos during the winter. Spring and Fall I wear flat sandals. Summer I don't work so I live in my flip flops.

Danskos. I have 3 pairs - brown, patent black, and black Mary Jane. Loooove them. And they come in handy once you reach the point where you don't want to/can't bend over to put shoes on anymore. Trust.

I could have written this word for word, except I only work from home 2 days a week so I have to put on real clothes and shoes the other 3 days. Brown leather boots, converse, and my pink Toms, because they're awesome. 

[mtnmomma13]

I do wear Danskos a fair amt in the winter. My feet swelled so much last pregnancy I couldn't even squeeze my feet in Danskos. Sad day...all I could wear were flip flops...worked fine in May, not so sure about Oct. :S

mcncheese, I also love Nine West. There is an outlet near me, so I may have to make a little trip this weekend.

[mrspipp]

Mine are definitely flats- all different colors. My faves are Nine West too, mcncheese mtnmomma13

Eta: tag fail

sweett11, you are my kind of woman! Love my sperrys, boots and flip flops.

I have the same problem! I have the most comfortable nine west platform wedge booties. They're perfect. they're tall and super comfortable but they are torn up. I cannot find it anywhere. I think I bought them at an outlet store so I'm probably screwed. I don't wear shoes often because I've developed a small heel spur in my left heel so i've been wearing black sketcher sneaker-type shoes with heel inserts. I can't even wear cute flats. I need support for these puppies! 

[lycih]

Clarks are my go-to for supportive/comfy still somewhat stylish work shoes. I spend a lot of time on construction sites, so I have to be able to stand on concrete slabs for hours at a time in them, and they have lower heels that aren't heinous. They can be pricey, though, so I'd find an outlet near you, if possible.

[cinc1em]

I have back issues, so I have to wear shoes with support & cushion. I wear yoga toes flip flops a lot in summer. They have thick cushy bottoms and tie dividers. They are great for pedicures too.

I also love my Sperrys bc they feel like tennis shoes, but look better. And I round it out with wedge boots with memory foam footbed and running shoes. I have flats too, but their simply not as comfy and therefore with much less.

[mrsamyd]

I love my Adidas supernova glides. If I don't want to look sloppy I have some aerosols ballet flats and toms.

[kirotea]

Also adding that I love my pair of work-appropriate wedge sandals from Cole Haan. They were more than I'd normally spend, but totally worth it. They're worn to shit now so I really should get something new for this year but nothing Cole Haan has right now is appealing. #firstworldproblem

kirotea I have one pair of cole haan heels and they have nike air in the footbed...genius! I got them on sale at the rack though!

Yup - that's what my wedges have. I need a WW in those so I have to pay (almost) full price.
