I consider myself pretty fashionable and I have a bunch of Sofft styles. In fact, I am going to London and Paris today and am bringing two of their boot styles and one of the ballet flats. I must say, I don't like the Donal Pliner pair AT ALL! Hideous. Take a second look at Sofft. it seems like they are getting cuter and cuter every season.

Usually I feel the same about shoes from Born or Sofft, but I think those would be much more appealing and practical. These girdle elastics from Pliner also have a small heel - so if you're going with any sort of heel at all, a pair of low heeled shoes from Cole Haan's Nike Air technology would also be great here. Pliner also makes a reasonable looking low heel pump with the girdle elastic that looks stylish and would be just as practical. Just not the loafer. I'm still shivering.

Their shop in Paris is nice and artsy and in a very pretty place. Why don’t you get a nice pair from Camper (www.camper.es), very comfy even with heels and pretty.

Good design technique. Hmmmm, the shoes look to have a higher heel than they actually do. Good design technique.

They are fantastically comfy -- pretty amazing for a pair of cheap, synthetic shoes with minimal padding. They're cute too! Meg — I totally have those shoes (in silver).

I don't like them. Then again, I don't like loafers in general. My favorite comfy shoes are a pair of black ballet flats with ribbon trim. I got them from Payless during a BOGO sale and in one week I walked over 35 miles in them in London - and my feet were still happy. Hmmmm…… I don’t like them.

No one under 75 should wear stretch fabric shoes!!! What about Sofft shoes if you're doing a lot of walking? Poron insole cushioning is the key. Ick!

Now that I live in LA I don't walk really at all but always have these in some version or another specifically for cooler travelling days requiring a LOT of walking yet still looking fantastic. I especially like to wear them with opaque black tights & and my other travel standby, the above-the-knee black wool jersey skirt. Allowed me to be confortable and not look like a tourist in Paris, London, New York, Shanghai, Florence, Rome...
