Most comfortable & stylish shoes you ever owned

[Ryan Graber]

Suprisingly my most comfortable pair of shoes, is a wonderful pair of Doucal's I picked up at the Nordstrom Rack on a whim a few months back.

some old vans. were black with white rubber soles. i put those shoes through hell. snow, basketball, mud, plenty of running, etc. they double stitched the soles to the shoe so the sole actually wore through and thats why i had to get rid of them. with them being so worn, they were very comfy

looked like a standard tennis shoe. vans makes good quality shoes.

Artioli and a.testoni, feel as good at the end of the day as the beginning from my experience.

These. I have a pair that I wear with jeans and more casual outfits that look stylish and are ridiculously comfortable. I've beaten them to all hell and back, though, so it's time to order some more.

My shoe collection isn't large but I do have a decent number of mid-range shoes (Allen Edmonds and Church's). Still, the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever had are a pair of black, thin rubber soled chukka boots from Bacchrach that I bought for like $40 when I was in college. I could literally walk all day in them even on hard surfaces and my feet would feel great. I even ran in them (out of necessity of course) several times and they were up for that too. It was kind of amazing how comfortable they were.

Edit: Somehow missed the caveat of the shoes being stylish as well...those chukkas certainly wouldn't make the top of that list. If I was going for a combination of style and comfort maybe my Church's single monks on the 173 last (I think the model name is "Becket&quot. Not the sleekest shoe I own, but very comfortable and works very well with everything from jeans to a more casual suit.

Sorry Mafoo, but I think it may be the true OneShoe.

I remember when I first tried on a Park Avenue. The salesman advised me (quite correctly) that an Ecco or Mephisto would fit better, but the difference in elegance was just staggering.

Comfortable - my bespoke
Sylish - I find the C&J Kempton stylish

heschung chukka's are my most comfortable pair.
I bought the c&j tetburys to take their place but I haven't broken them in properly yet.
Most stylish + comfortable C&J handgrades on the last between chiseled and round, kind of oval yet not overly pointy. I am not nerdy enough to memorise last numbers, sorry.

I've heard Ecco are like sneakers, but I don't really consider them dress shoes, per se.
Almost all of my Alden's are more comfortable than my running shoes and I like wearing them. I have a couple of pair on odd lasts that are not as comfortable but they are getting there. The ones that do not fit as well are on the Plaza and Grant lasts and were never fitted properly at the store. They smooshed my pinky toe but now that is not even a problem. I get a lot of arch support and never notice the weight.

Probably Saint Cripin's (classic last).
I guess that is very individual ...
