They are expensive, I paid $150 for a pair of Mary Jane type shoes, but I will never forgot the day at work when I was walking at the office and I was thinking, "My feet don't hurt!!" You can Google then, I think they have changed their name and it is now Ziera. Zappos sells them.

Thanks for that. I saw one or two I like, but my size is out of stock, so I filled out an alert form. With all my foot problems I have learned that I need shoes that are made a certain way (read that as "expensive"). I've gotten rid of so many shoes - hardly worn - because if intense pain. I will try them. I am having difficulty dressing for job interviews - cannot walk in my dress shoes! LOL

Same here, Kumfs have removeable orthotics in them, so it helps with arch support also. All of their shoes seem to have wide toe boxes which I need. My only complaint is that they don't make any thing with heels higher than 1 inch. But that's not the aim of the company, they make shoes that are kind to your feet. Good luck.

I have a morton's neuroma that needs a roomy toe box and ball of foot area + very high arches. Heels are out for me for the time being. The shoe looks good for me.

Thank you all for your (mostly helpful :-P) input! I found several styles I like online that I think will work for me. Now I am trying to find somewhere that sells several of the brands so I can try some on before making a big plunge.

You have done well for answers here! I was expecting a giggle as those mischievous members found the most ridiculous shoe on the web - but no. What is going on?!

For what it is worth, my 'comfy shoes' have been Geox the past couple of years. Not seen this seasons yet, but I feel comfortable and fashionable the Geox I have.

These look good for crowd control though:
