Shop for me? Sneakers
We all know I have a crap hip...and we all know by now that I need good shoes to walk properly (I am sure I have complained enough that I don't need to whine anymore about it)...
My problem...I don't have cute sneakers.
I am looking for "trendy" sneakers that I can wear for extended outings, like going to the aquarium/zoo/etc. I feel so "eh" like my great jeans and cute shirts are diminished when I wear my gawdy running shoes with them.
I don't know what to look for...I just know I cannot do flat sneakers (converse, skaterish shoes, etc). I need something with some internal moulding to them.
Ideas? Post pictures or links PLEASE, I need the visuals to know what to look for since I am so out of the loop on cute shoes as I tend to wear ugly shoes in favor of the ability to walk.
Re: Shop for me? Sneakers
I got some recently at Target that I think are pretty cute but are still good to walk in. They're TrimStep Spher. Not sure if they have them still since they had them on clearance. Here's a photo:

I have the Privo Kulins in black and white and I wear them pretty much every single day - for work and play. They're by Clarks, so they have good support. Privo in general has a lot of cute styles though.
These are the Kulins
These are the Privo bingles (come in a bunch of different colors)
Actually here's a whole blog article about the goodness of Privo.

I love love love my Kulins and will definitely buy more Privos in the future.
I love Privos too, good for bad feet like mine.
I have 2 pairs of Privos that I can't wear because the heel gives me blisters every time, which is a bummer because they're cute and *should* be really comfy. Anyone know if the heels are better now? Mine are a couple of years old so the company could have improved them since then.
I just bought 2 pairs of everyday casual shoes from Zappos and am in love with them both:
Salomon Jody (also comes in mesh, style is called Desire:
And these just make me super happy every time I look at them. I'm planning to buy another pair in the gray/blues combo. Simple Take On Elastic:
Both have removable insoles so you can replace with your own Superfeet/orthotics if you want.
I'm not sure of your shoe requirements, but I tend to love Pumas for cute sneakers. I actually really want to buy some right now. lol

endless.com also has a ton
I cannot wear privos of any kind, they give me horrible blisters, no matter what and my feet are too wide for them +socks. Which sucks since I love the look of some of them.
I am totally digging those elastic ones zoe!!!
I am also loving the puma soleil in the lavender and grey!!! Must go try on immediately.
Ok, I have some really good ideas now, thank you to everyone who responded (and please feel free to keep them coming) I think I have a direction now!!!!
I might be buying 2-3 pairs because I am loving some of these too much.

I recently got my sister these Jambu Himalayas as a gift. Pricey but cute. I haven't worn them but they look pretty comfy/sensible yet stylish (more stylish IRL I think). There are several other colors on Zappos.
toddler shoes are my weakness...
And K - TOMS! ;-)
seriously, I'm out of the sneaker loop. But I
my toms.
