I've been looking forward to checking out the Cole Haans in person after reading about them in magazines (and seeing them on the new Stacey London show.) They even make some cute heels. And they don't look like Aerosoles. v good suggestion.

Also, I buy my shoes in the narrow widths. I walked all around SF Union Square with these: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2951981/0~2376778~2372811~2373742~2373744~2375104?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=2375104&P=1 I have them in black patent but they also come in suede. @ theresa:

Of course, I realize there are perhaps only a few ways to state that...but still, it's funny! And I agree with the others: I would much rather see the young ladies who walk to their office in those delightful shoes, instead of in flip-flops or in the dreaded Crocs.

The men's have had the disguised jock/dress shoe for many years now. Of course the flat shape of the men's shoe, especially the well made ones, lead to less problems problems anyway. One of the reasons I despise the Croc on the mens, there are so many better looking and safer alternatives. Yes

I have been looking for a comfortable shopping shoe for ages, high heels always leave my legs tired when shopping and I think that many flats are just ugly and not worth the marginal comfort because they are flimsy. Since I never wear trainers unless I am training, I am going to solve my dilemma with these shoes. Those are brilliant for grocery shopping on those horrible tile floors.

I, too, must walk at least three miles a day to get to and from the Port Authority and my office and the bus stop and all of those pleasant locations. I see many young ladies wearing the Flimsy Ballet Shoes. I overhear these young ladies wondering why they have the aching arches and the tired toes. Perhaps more of these young ladies should look into shoes like this one, which appears to have arch support and a substantial sole whilst still looking superfantastic. I, however, have very narrow heels and I am too lazy to keep a skimmer like this on my feet. I prefer something with a delicate maryjane strap to support my laziness. Nonetheless, this is a lovely choice. I commend you for encouraging us hard-working commuters to take care of our feets! Manolo, those are just lovely!
