Re: True or false..

  • FWIW, these would be for work and working weddings, not a fashion statement. :)

    I'm investing in professional super-comfy shoes that I could wear with my gray scrubs and also when working weddings, where I mostly wear black pants, but it might be nice to have something that goes with khaki/brown too.

  • Did you already buy them or can we make other suggestions? =)
  • If you're going for comfort.. why not just a basic, versatile black flat? I know Crocs are notorious for comfort... WDYT about these?

  • lol Madisen. I haven't bought anything. Please feel free to suggest, but it has to be Dankso or Sanita.

    CD -- I'm on my feet all day -- flats don't cut it. I need cushion and arch support.

     

    ETA -- I guess there are other brands similar to the 2 I mentioned that would work -- those are just the 2 of which I'm aware.

  • Girl, those are ugly I don't care what they go with.
  • I also like these, but would be SOL in the rare event I wore khaki/brown pants to a wedding. It's rare enough that I don't think i'm willing to use it as a huge factor in shoes that are this expensive (I've been wearing $30 shoes for 5.5yrs now...), but more of a "it would be even better if.."

    These are Naturalizer.  I know they have a heel, but they're a wedge so should be super comfortable and have the arch support you want.

    I knoooow they're ugly. But they're better than the giant clogs.

  • Reeny is one of the best looking styles on the Dansko site I think. Also, black shoes don't look bad with khaki.

    If you don't want to worry about polished toenails, these are Naturalizer too and come in a couple more colors.

    I guess the giant clogs look normal to me in a medical environment. Totally not appropriate for anything other than that though.

    I like those, you could always add cushion insoles too.

  • Can't do open toe (safety).

    Those are really cute, but... can you seriously see those under a pair of scrubs? I think I'd look like a 'tard.

    I'm also doubting the comfiness for all day, but I'd be willing to try them.

  • I don't think you will find shoes that are appropriate for lab and wedding photography, those are two different pairs of shoes you need.
  • Sooooooo the consensus I'm getting here is just buy a pair of ugly clogs for work

     and suck it up and buy big girl shoes for weddings.

    Precisely.
  • Sorry, I missed the for both scrubs and weddings. 

    These are all Clarks:

    Which is why I posted the Crocs brand flats. I knew girls at Applebees & Target that wore them & raved about them. They actually have cushion & arch support & aren't just flat like typical flats.

  • Buy some Dansko's for work and Naturlaizer or similar brand for weddings. If you buy Dansko's, they will last longer than you want them too. My first pair is still going strong after 4 years, but I got tired of looking at the same shoes every.work.day.
    Another old nestie with a new name.
  • I hadn't considered Clarks. Those would probably work. Thanks, Madisen!

    Lol Maritza -- I've been wearing the same pair every day for 5 1/2 years now, so I'm not too worried about that. I'd rather that they actually lasted that long, as opposed to mine which should have been chucked a whiiiiile ago.
