Men have better choice colored shoes!

I'm not so sure about that...just try finding dressy shoes you can actually walk in and that are comfortable!!

Clarks.

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.

Oops, yes. I would compare them with Clarks, but a bit more stylish. I am lucky that there is a very expensive shoe store in my town that has a "discount" room upstairs. Since all of their shoes are brands like Naot and Clarks, I often have success finding things there; plus, I wear a size 5.5 in dress shoes and they actually have lots of shoes in my size. Europeans have smaller feet than Americans, I guess, so the small sizes often end up in the discount room.

The store near me generally only has regular widths, but they will order what you want with free shipping to your house, and you can return it to the store if it doesn't work out. Good luck!!

I hear you on the shoes. I don't wear what other people call dress shoes. I gave up on that A LONG time ago. However.. bike shoes? What am I going to do when my red SIDI's wear out? They've never come up with anything as good (colorwise) since. I can still remember when one of the TE gals bought the LAST pair of red ones near my size. . . then after that it took months of hunting I found a little LBS selling them in Colorado because they had accidentally ordered too many of the red ones... So I was able to buy a pair.
Bike shoe makers, wake up. Look at what we are wearing, and the color of our bikes. Do you really think we just want black or white shoes????

You could make the switch like I did: to the FABULOUS side...



-- gnat! (I got the Tri-shoes, but will probably also spring for the MTB Dombinator 5s before they abandon that color)

I can't wear dress shoes. I have a super-narrow heel and I can't walk in anything other than flats. I'll suffer through it for a day if I have to--most of the time, I wear sneakers. I just wish there were comfortable shoes that don't look like something my mother would wear.

Clarks.

+1. Most of my work shoes are Clarks.

And I only WISH I could buy womens' bike shoes instead of having to buy mens. (There are no womens bike shoes available in an 11-12 - or a 45. I am an 11 in street shoes but for cycling/running I do like to size up.) I guess I am "lucky" then since apparently I have a palette of colors available to me in overly wide ill fitting shoes.
