    I only wear footwear  that have steel toes and shanks - not too stylish but they are  safe. I usally get my footwear  at  Marks Work Ware House. Cheers!

    They are a piece of metal at the bottom of the boot there good to have if you step on a nail. Cheers!

    Thank you. I do not think I have ever seen any of those. They would be good for construction work. This post was edited by my2cents at October 18, 2019 12:02 AM MDT

    There good for the beach too - once I stepped on a rusty spike that was in a piece of wood that I couldn't see  because t under the sand. They make a lot of types of footwear with steel shanks and steel toes including running shoes. Cheers!

    I have had steel toe high top tennis shoes before. I used to work in a factory.  But as I said never heard of shanks.

    Even on cold mornings and right out of bed?  You don't have any warm, fuzzy slippers?
    I know what I'm getting you for Christmas. ;)

    No fuzzy slippers for me - wool socks is what I wear. Cheers! This post was edited by Nanoose at October 18, 2019 12:01 AM MDT

  • I'm not picky about shoes--I wear high-tops, low-top Vans, athletic shoes, and flip-flops/slides. I shop at places like Marshall's and Ross as well as Macy's and sometimes mall shoe stories like Journeys.

    flat, comfortable, wide enough to allow lots of wriggle room for my toes,
    soft soles that have good grip and don't make a lot of noise on hard surfaces

    style to suit the occasion or work 
    colours harmonise with clothes

    There's a natural footwear company that I like best -
    but they're handcrafted and imported from New Zealand, too expensive for my income.
    So I take great care to ensure they last as long as possible.
    Soon I'll be down to op. shops only.

    My favorite footwear is skin. I love being barefoot. However, since that doesn't fly very well with the tenderfoot I've become, I go with stilettos at all fancy occasions. I don't shop for them.  They jump out if they are on sale when I am passing by.  I shop at REI for hiking boots which I wear most of the time while at work and in the mountains. Merrells are a brand I seem to lean toward.  For day to day wear, sandals are my choice.  The name doesn't matter.  It depends on what sort of sandal I need for the occasion. I also wear canvas loafers, and easy, old-grannie tennis shoes with jeans.  I sincerely do not have a special shoe store.  I have a, "if they are on sale," all stores are applicable,  approach. 
    I take my feet for granted.  I need to pay more attention to them.  They take me everywhere I need to go.  I would be very sad if I didn't have my feet. This post was edited by Merlin at October 17, 2019 3:32 PM MDT

    I prefer tennis shoes.  Nike are the most comfortable but I do not buy them right now. Next is Adidas, New Balance, Sketchers.  Only one rule....they must be bright pink...with some black. 

    Weekend leisure in summer....Crocs or sandals.

    I usually shop Shoe Carnival when the Buy on Get One 50% off is going. Also get points which save on purchases later.  This post was edited by my2cents at October 17, 2019 9:29 PM MDT
