If a cat doesn't like you, then what's wrong with you?
I need to find some comfy flat shoes for work, preferably ballet flat style or decent sandals. I do a lot of walking in them so they need to be quite well made. I'm not in corporate wear at the moment because of my pregnancy so am in dresses and cardigans mainly, if I can't find a ballet flat style a sandal will suit.

I had a pair of rubber croc ballet flats but they now have got holes in the soles because I do so much walking.

Ive looked at Ziera but they a simply too expensive. I guess I'm wanting something with a thick sole.

No idea where else to look.

I like el naturalista shoes. They make a range of shoes, sandals and boots that have thick soles. I find them very comfy.
They are on sale at amazon.de.

I love Hush Puppies. Picked up a pair for $39 in the sales but generally they are quite expensive.

I love Birkenstocks. It took me a week to get used to them, but I think that's training you to walk correctly. So comfortable and so many styles to choose from.

Don't crowd Sir Walter, Edmund.
Do you have a Rivers store near you?

They have a big range of flattish shoes that aren't that expensive. Ballet flats aren't very supportive, so I would go with something that is a little more chunky in the sole.

I have recently picked up some Target ballet flats for work. They are the comfiest (sp??, nothing looked right) I have worn in a long time and only $15 each. I actually went back and bought 3 other colours in the same style.

They have padding in them so they aren't as thin under your foot as some cheap ones are. They are Target Essentials brand and have flowers made out of the same material on the toes.

They are the ones in red on the bottom row (Tasty ballet flats)

I second Rivers. Cheap, but comfortable, look good and wear well.
