But you got to admit, off the bike, we have better shoes.

According to my LBS, manufacturers think women won't pay for higher end, cool looking cycling shoes.
My DH is the Imelda of men's shoes. He buys very cool looking ones that always get noticed.
Jolt, have you ever seen Nayot brand shoes? They are super expensive, but occasionally you can find them on sale at STP or other places. They are designed by an Israeli woman who was a doctor and couldn't find stylish, comfortable shoes. She's become rich making shoes.2015 Trek Silque SSL

And some seem to think that if you're a girl, you must like pink. No offence to PinkBike, but I really really don't like pink.

I'd be happy if I could fit into women's shoes. I wouldn't care if they only came in barf pink.
Well, maybe I would...

Shoe brands that I find comfortable when I look for work-appropriate heels: Clarks (as Ny-biker mentioned), Geox, and Pikolinos. I check every season to see if they have something I like, which is generally not the case ... I am picky.
Crankin: would that be Naot?

Clarks ... well looky there, EE width women's shoes (in black and blue only
), and they have a store not too far from me.
I hate to even get my hopes up. Shoe shopping has always been an exercise in frustration for me.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

+1. Most of my work shoes are Clarks. Originally Posted by ny biker
