I have a thin and narrow foot, and AGL flats are the only shoes I have found that I can wear. I have worn them for a day of touristy activities. They are expensive; I buy them on Poshmark.


Thanks for this - any other brands you would recommend for narrow feet? Lace up shoes are less of a problem but still seems a tough type of foot to fit these days.


PP here. If you can recommend a sneaker with a narrow heel, I'd be grateful. I end up lacing too tight to keep the sneaker from flopping up and down on my heels--only partially successfully--and the over-tightness is not comfortable on the top of the foot. All of which is why I wear AGLs so much. With thick socks I can do boots in winter and for summer I can find sandals that work, but sneakers have proven elusive.


New Balance sneakers tend to have a narrower heel.

Tory burch flats from the early 00’s were comfortable but only if the shoe fit correctly and were soft leather. I haven’t worn this style since.

I love Me Too for these but I have wider than average feet so they might not work for you if yours are narrow.

I hate them. And the way they are curled up when they are just sitting there. So your feet are actively pushing them flat. So exhausting

+1

The trendy new Mary Jane flats work for me because they have arch support.

Does anyone find these comfortable? Brand? Link? If so, is your foot narrow?

It is like torture for me even with 2 steps. Am I the only one?
