Before I found my latest favorite pair I lived on Vans slip-ons, no socks and the random puffy skate shoe. When Crocs came out I thought they looked super comfy but only young kids and old people wear them in public, plus they're not so good with keeping oil off my feet. Of course I've got what I like for wearing, and then there's what I like seeing on others, what with spending a lot of time looking at people's feet and all. What gives you comfort, decent looking and doesn't fall apart for years?

I have seven pairs of Converse right now, and four pairs of high tops. It's either those or flip flops for me.

I wear a pair of 10 hole docs to work everyday. I mostly wear flip flops (or thongs as we aussies call them) after hours. My fave sneakers don't get worn as much as they used to anymore, though now that it's getting colder they'll get worn. Oh and my dance boots get worn once a week too.

I think there needs to be the option of barefoot shoes. I wear a merrell vibram brand, so they don't look like toe shoes but are very similar

I voted flip-flops because it was the closet thing to sandals. I wear shoes as little as possible, but when it's gotta be done you'll see me in Birkenstocks. When it starts getting too cold out I switch to clogs and only switch to boots if there's enough snow on the ground that it'll get in the clogs.

I wear flat ballet pump shoes. If it is very cold or snowing I wear these boots that look like Uggs but are just cheap imitations. I often fall over when wearing them. I like to feel the ground through my shoes, if that makes sense. I can walk in high heels, but I very rarely wear them.

It depends. I wear flip-flops when I go outside at home & I wear New Balance tennis-shoes when i go somewhere. I like being barefoot

Rockports. The only work shoes I feel comfortable in. I'm on my fifth pair of the same exact ones. :)

Lace-Bane has worn the same pair of Dockers for the last 3 years :D

It's looks like it could be a boot, but is cut short low on the ankle like a normal shoe :?. I got them in black leather, and like them since they look serious in a metal kind of way, but also appear nice depending on what I'm wearing. Also the tread was pretty serious and useful for most terrain.

I'm planning on getting another of the same pair soon... as mine are falling apart, and the tread is so non-existant from years of wear that when it rains, I frequently have to catch my balance from slipping :|. It's a shame because with how broken in they are, they're quite cozy... but they do look like hell at this point :?

Safety boots. All year round. Worn with long skirts which apparently messes with some people's ideas about gender presentation. I'm just not going to wear uncomfortable shoes. Ever. The boots I get (Airside) are incredibly comfortable and I can walk all day in them without any foot trouble. I buy exactly the same type when I need new ones, too!

Sorry, it sent before I finished, I was gonna say 'no shoes no shirt no dice' and 'those 5 fingered frog shoes'. Clogs are good too but I'm not sure if you can run in them
