Dear Casey: Like you, I too am always on the hunt for comfortable, not-too-flat flats. NOT the kind that you can feel every pebble in the pavement through the skimpy soles — Kellie & Katie from DSW for instance. Not the ones that chew up your heels or the top of your toes after a few hours of walking (Rothy’s, rothys.com). Or, Chuck Taylors that offer no support (even though they’re pretty cute). I buy my Chucks 1/2 size bigger to accommodate my Pure Stride Full Length Orthotics (amazon.com, $24.55). My best bet these days are the Home Run ballet flats from Aerosoles (aerosoles.com, $89 reduced to $49) though almost all my flats require gel heel liners (amazon.com and drugstores, Dr. Scholl’s $6.99). Readers, help Casey (and me) find frugal, walk-all-day flats that are cute and comfy! What are your faves?
