| I will be running a conference in a few weeks and will be on my feet 14 hours for 5 days straight. Right now I wear only heels, but I know my feet, knees, and hips will be killing me by day 2 if I try that. Any suggestings for your most comfortable and stylish flats? |

| Pretty Ballerinas or Porselli pumps (you can buy those at APC). |

| I would put vionic inserts in whatever you get. Wear them for a couple of days first to break them in |

| So they’re cute but they offer zero support. You won’t be doing yourself any favors in those shoes. |

| Tbh shoes from brands like AK Sport, sofft, etc are perfect for long days on your feet. |

| Rothy's are worth it for me because of their washability (to deal with smelliness). I find them to be extremely comfortable as well, but I'm not a heel person and I'm not on my feet for hours on end. If you're solely (LOL) looking for support, I imagine there are similarly priced options from Clarks or other support-focused brands. But I've been very pleased with Rothy's nonetheless. |

| I was initially skeptical of the price, but a friend convinced me that they're worth it, and i couldn't be happier with my purchase!! Definitely worth it in terms of washability/durability/comfort. |

Once, when I was really poor but had to go to a wedding, I bought shoes at Payless for the first time in my life. They turned out to be super comfortable. |

| What type of inserts offer the best support for pointed toe Rothy's? I find the shoes themselves very soft, but they are SOOOO darn flat and I can't stand having zero arch support. |

I have two pairs of Tieks and adore them...but I've been disappointed with how well they have held up. Granted I wear them in the city nearly every day and often for 10+ hours a day. But my toe poked a hole in one which I had patched, the sole peeled off, and the sole inside is cracked and peeling from the rubber sole. This pair is 2 years, the pair I wear slightly less is 3 years old. These are the first shoes at this price point, so I expected them to last longer. |
