Your favorite shoes.

Give me a good pair of sneakers anytime. Haven't worn heels in years (don't miss them).

I've been really wanting to try a pair of sanuks! Although wasn't sure about the quality because i don't know anyone who has them. Would you say they last fairly well? The price has always kind of thrown me off considering what they are.... Though if they last it's worth it.

I think they wear well. I can usually get a year out of a pair that I wear daily- and that includes walking dogs on pavement/sand, wearing them in the water, washing them in the washing machine once a month.

In summer, I live in flip flops (or just go barefoot). I have some that are made by Rocket Dog that are soooo comfy I buy a new pair every summer, I'm up to about 5. In winter, I stick to tennis shoes or cowboy boots.

My plantar fasciitis is still bugging me, so all I'm wearing are sneakers. Although I have a new pair of Naot sandals that seem promising...

I love my Toms, and I also love my Reebok Skyscape shoes. They're made out of bra material so totally comfy.

Old Navy flip flops. Year round.

Converse hi tops for work and when it isn't sandal weather...usually at home no shoes at all. Oh, and for steampunk costuming my brown knee high Madden Girl boots.

Merrell hiking boots for work, flip flops for summer, cowboy boots for winter.

Most of the time a pair of decent running shoes when I've got some errands downtown, but as I spend most of my time outside with dogs, it's a pair of hiking boots when the weather is okay, but in winter it's another story and I do have my favorites, these:
CANADIAN WINTER SNOW ICE BOOTS EXTREME COLD WET WEATHER PROTECTION BLACK UK 3-13 | eBay
When I have them on, I feel invincible no matter what the temp may be or how windy it is. It's like riding in a very comfortable tank Just love them - the best winter doggie-walk boots I've ever had.

Salomon Exit Peak Mid 2 GTX Light Trail (that's quite a mouthful). Salomon is a ski boot manufacturer that's gone into hiking boots. These are light hikers I bought from MEC two years ago. I walked into the store, tried on two other brands, said 'meh'. The partner brought these out, I put them on, and said 'whoa'. They support my high-ish arch, give my broad front foot plenty of room, and are currently my year-round go-to footwear. I'm in the market for what used to be called sneakers (probably Reebok or Rbk as I've had good experiences with these brands) and for sandals, probably Tevas. Any comments on Tevas?

A little OT - I wear wool socks year round. The additional warmth in the summer is well worth the trade-off in comfort, cushioning, and sturdiness/durability. Though the Smartwool brand is pricey they have been far and away the best sock, I highly recommend them for hiking, winter sports, and daily wear.

Jeff - I wore Vasque light hikers years ago. They were good boots.

Last weekend I bought a pair of Teva Toachis. Went to a small shoe store (third-generation family owned it turned out) in search of knowledgeable fit advice and found it. The fellow was skeptical when hearing I wear a nine. He said I probably do that to accommodate my broad forefoot and put me in a seven. It felt really good and was 25% off. They still feel really good.
