comfy walking shoes?

Starmusica

Any suggestions for comfortable walking shoes- preferably sandals? I am rehabing a toe injury and sandals are much more comfortable. I need a pair I can walk a lot in though..


TIA

Doesnt Dr Sholls (sp?) make sandals.  I think Khols sells them?

Star, I dont know if you will think these are comfy, but when I effed up my big toe (it still hurts to bend it) I found my J. Crew flip flops to be the most comfortable things on the planet.  I walk all over the place in them anyway, but there was something about the squishy-ness of them that made it so much less painful.

blue-- ooo I will look in to it!

button- thanks for the tip- my injury is also to my big toe!

Born sandals are some of the comfiest I've ever worn and Koda got some for her trip though I don't remember if she said how they did or not.

ooo girlie- I was just looking at those! Any suggestions on a certain pair?

Kendyl are super comfy and I tried on the Artemis though didn't buy because of color selection.

ooo I was looking at the kendyl but I was worried they would lead to backaches because they are so flat!

Mine are so old they dont carry them anymore. I bought them at DSW years ago for our Paris trip. But I also have a pair of wedges by them as well, you really cant go wrong.

I was actually wearing Born wedges the night H proposed. 

Naturalizer has some really comfy shoes as well Star, though I have more trouble because of width with them (stupid flat wide Fred Flintstone feet). 

Starmusica

ack- I also have flat wide feet. I will try out Born!

I have a pair of New Balance flip flops that are very comfortable. I wouldn't do a long walk in them for exercise, but I have no problem wearing them for long periods of time that involve walking. I can't find a picture of a similar pair, but they are pretty basic.

ETA: these are very similar - http://www.amazon.com/Womens-New-Balance-Thong-Color/dp/B004ZJLEVQ/ref=sr_1_19?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1345665361&sr=1-19&keywords=new+balance+flip+flops

If you tell me you have Cabbage Patch Kid legs too I'll be certain of it Celtic. 

There is also B.O.C by Born which looks like it has a lot of options as well (and less expensive).

I have Dansko sandals that are comfy also. They have velcro ( that sounds lame- but you can't see it) at the toe section and also around your ankle. 

Mine look like this:

I have a pair of Merrell sport sandals that I love, love, love. I bought them a few years ago and I don't remember the style name, but that might be a brand to look into.

I used to have a flip-flop addiction, but had to give it up due to "Myrtle", the name I affectionately (or not so affectionately) call the big mass of messed up joint that is now protruding from beneath my big toe. Yes, a bunion. At 34. Grr. This also means I had to give up heels, which was far more emotionally upsetting than it should have been.

Hope you find something comfy!

Aerosoles makes some cute sandals.  I wore a pair through Spain with no pain to my feet at all.

Orthoheels are the bomb. Danskos are great, too.

Orthoheels are the best I have ever tried. I have flat "Flintstone" feet and they put your foot in the correct positioning. Not only do I walk better and for longer, but my knees feel better too.

I second Aerosoles!  I used to work there when I was a teenager.  Some of their styles are definitely old, but I've gotten some cute pairs!  They sew them inside out and put a rubber diamond patterned sole on each pair.  You can literally bend them in half!
