Now, I'm not pretending that comfortable shoes= trendy shoes. I spent a good amount of time and money this last pregnancy on physical therapy/message and chiropractor visits because of hip problems, so I'm also not interested in pretending like I can wear anything other than a really supportive shoe. However, a great many supportive shoes were made for women whose hips are giving out due to age (although Harrison Ford may have actually been thinking about my problem when he made the little quip about it not being about the age but the mileage...). I can only presume they expect these wiser, aging women to also have failing sight because even brands I often appreciate make hideous looking shoes. So, anyone out there have a perfectly wonderful, comfortable sandal that can be worn with Sunday dresses (which in my case is not super dressy) or casual skirts? Young and old, share your thoughts.

re: ebay - use esnipe.com and you won't lose auctions again :)
i don't have any personal history but know people that love privos by clarks... they also have sandals.
i cannot wear cheap shoes anymore either. bought some kind of shoe inserts at costco a few months ago and they are in my running shoes and they have REALLY helped. i also shop at the shoebox in tallahassee for good walking shoes. a bit pricier but worth it at the end of the day when my feet don't ache!
Brite, I can't wear cheap shoes, either, and I'm younger than you. What's the deal? :)
Here are a couple of pairs of shoes that I don't own but would love to. I think I have clunky shoes taste...ok, I *do* have clunky shoe taste, so you can disregard all of my shoe recommendations if you want to. But I think these are cute:

I know a lot of people hate on Crocs, but I can't live without them. I literally wear only Crocs sandals and wear them practically all year round (in Florida). I can wear them for a whole weekend at Disney World and have no pain, and I especially appreciated them during my pregnancy. I wear these for everyday: http://www.crocs.com/crocs-cleo/10043,default,pd.html?cid=240&cgid=women-footwear-sandals and these when I want to be dressier: http://www.crocs.com/crocs-patricia/10386,default,pd.html?cid=41U&cgid=women-footwear-sandals. I think they're both cute enough, but what I care the most about is the comfort (and the fact that I can wash them in the dishwasher).
Born and nurture make very cute / supportive / comfortable shoes
