Friday Question: Who makes the comfiest shoes?

good-for-the-sole.jpgChecking out Debenhams' 'Good for the Sole' range recently, I was struck by the madness of the seemingly impossible task of designing comfotable shoes that look great, too.

GFTS is one of a few ranges attempting the unlikely marriage of comfort and style - and it succeeds pretty well considering that most of its shoes are below the £30 mark. But why is this such a rarity that a special range has to be made? Shouldn't all stylish shoes all be made - you know - wearable? Or is the whole 'suffer to be beautiful' mentailty just too firmly entrenched in footwear?

What do you think? And which labels (stylish ones, I mean - good heavens, I don't mean the sort that LOOK comfortable) do you find to make the most comfortable shoes?

Good for the Sole purple t-bar courts are £28 from Debenhams

    Since I have wide feet in a size 9 I find that New Look heels work best for me since they do both size 9 and wide fit for a great price. New Look is always my first port of call for flats, boots and heels.

    As someone with the unfortunate combination of fallen arches and heel spurs I utterly despair of ever finding pretty shoes that are comfortable and correct my natural foot position.

    Naot have been an absolute dream find for me - http://www.naot.co.uk/allure-p-2380.html?cat=122&colour=102#

    My most comfy heels are New Look ones, and the best boots I own are Matalan flat black OTK ones, and my New Look cowboy boots.

    My favs are Doc Martens and a brand I can't find in the UK called Born. http://www.bornshoes.com/Default.aspx

    My absolutely most comfortable shoes are all the ones which are size 38.5 - rare to find it, but I think it must just be the size my feet are. So far, this has been:

    - Suzanne Constantine (just discovered her!) http://www.suzanneconstantineshoes.co.uk/

    - LK Bennett (most of my work shoes are from the Swindon outlet centre...)

    - Bally (one pair of beautiful second hand turquoise platforms which I wore to death)
