Comfortable shoes and trainers

I've got a fused ankle and lots of metalwork in my right foot so have very limited movement and still lots of pain - I find Sketchers the only footwear suitable for me. I've got several pairs and all are ok 👍. Hope you find something which suits you as I know from experience just how difficult it can be to find comfortable shoes

Another vote for Sketchers. I’ve just bought a pair, they’re called ‘Slip-in’s’ here, not sure what name they are marketed in the UK, but they are brilliant. I got tired of repeatedly tying and untying laces countless times a day. It is like walking on air. Highly recommend.

Another vote for Skechers - Go Walk. Sooo comfortable

Skechers for me too. Go Walk.

I also have two Hammer toes which are very painful but since I bought the trainers I have no problem at all.

I have painful arthritic feet with metalwork in one. Sketches for me too even golf shoes and walking boots. (Bobs).

Fitflop ‘Rally’ style for me. I also have metalwork (in both feet). The cushioning and high toe box really help me.

The biomechanics/podiatrist at my rheumatology department recommended Hokka. He said I wouldn’t need insoles. I bought a pair and been wearing them for a year. They’re expensive but so comfortable and wearing well
I also buy FitFlop and sketchers but hokka the tops

My husband wears Sketchers and kept insisting I get some, so I did - and they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm going to get some more.

Sketchers are like slippers. They are comfy but don't offer my feet any support. I only buy lace-ups now as I need the support for my foot. No particular brand but if they aren't cushioned I just buy foam in-soles. No more foot pain!

Sketchers the one and only for me ,bunions, wearing these I'm unaware of them. Just brought som lovely summer ones.

Hokka give good support. I agree Sketchers comfortable but no good for walking any distance if your feet need that

Sketchers for me too. I have several pairs, boots, trainers and sandals. I wouldn't wear anything else.
My brother in law has rheumatoid arthritis and his consultant advised him to buy Sketchers shoes.

I'm also looking for comfortable footwear - leather sandals ideally with buckles instead of velcro.
I too have a hammer toe and arthritis.
Any ideas please? Don't want to hijack the thread so ignore me if you think I am.

Yet another vote for Skechers. They’re the only shoes my sister can wear that are comfortable, although she wishes the designs were ‘prettier’. I believe they do sandals too, NotSpaghetti.

I wear Pavers, which I think are the same as Sketchers?
I won't wear any other shoes now as I find them so comfortable.

I’ve got a bunion, and find Skechers don’t suit my feet, as they don’t have enough support my foot over-pronates in them, which makes it ache. I’ve recently bought some Calla trainers, which are really supportive and comfortable, they are soft but a lot more supportive. They also have a good advice line to make sure you choose a style with the right width and shape for your foot.

Pavers have further reductions in their sale atm. Worth a look.

I have trouble finding shoes as well. I have several pairs of Clarks Trigenics , which are really comfortable and nice enough to wear to events , but they make less variety now.

Recently, in desperation, I bought a pair of memory foam insoled, slip on, fabric shoes from Primark... £9!! At that price I was willing to give them a try. All man made and therefore vegan. They are very comfortable, like slippers. Don't look too bad and good for around the house and short trips. My daughter thinks they look a bit cheap! They were!

I have found a local Skechers shop and will go and try some on tomorrow. Do any of you take a wide fitting ? I am not sure if I will need wide. Do they measure your feet like they did in the ‘olden’ days ?

They do wide fitting shoes, but I can’t recall them measuring your feet.

Another vote for Skechers! I have several pairs in various styles and love them!
I've also bought Pavers, when I needed something more stylish for a wedding. They have some nice sandals with low/medium heels that I found comfortable enough to wear for the day.
Also, I've tried Vivaia, which you can order online (not sure whether they sell in shops yet?). They aren't cheap, but they do have some very nice shoes and sandals, particularly if you need something smart for a nice event. As well as flats and trainers.
They have well cushioned insoles, and the material they are made from has a lot of 'give' in it, quite stretchy.

NotSpaghetti - I've a pair of Keen sandals that are the biz for walking - velcro fasten, toes covered, very good sole. Not girly smart. Called 'Rose' www.sportsshoes.com/product/kee351/keen-rose-women's-walking-sandal---aw24?_cur=GBP&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwzIK1BhAuEiwAHQmU3oRd5V9ZhcsuC-Ms_DD4issaazhFx6kTOUDzeLn8mTqW4zDdSdBtURoCnJUQAvD_BwE

I found that Sketchers didn’t give my feet enough support. I buy Widerfit Shoes online. They are a little wider and deeper than high street shoes and come in a variety of styles.

Thank you Patsy70 - I have had a look but they don't seem to have leather adjustable ones.
Good idea to look though.
